Opening of the Tournament, Hero of the Skies and the Elephant of Knowledge
Author's Notes: For future reference of the clan, Sky Paladin, I do not own that clan. Credit goes to the user described in this link: wiki/User_blog:Hasekura/New_Clan_Idea:_Sky_Paladins
Its the day of the regional tournament, Team Samurai Dragon is ready to go, and each have prepared their decks for the games. The members have met at the card shop.
"It was nice of you to take us to the regionals Kyle, but you didn't have to do that." Tom stated.
"Well, I'm the shop owner, and the rules state that there must be a legal adult to watch the team members during the competition." Kyle explained.
"Well, if its in the rules..." Max trailed off.
"Great, I also brought snacks for everyone, for the road trip." Kyle laughed.
Tom, Megan, Max, and Greg let out great big sigh.

"Heeeeeyyy!" A familiar voice called.
It was Zack, Dan, and Koyoku running up to the shop.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Greg asked.
"We're coming as support for you guys." Dan answered.
Tom raised an eyebrow at Kyle.
"Ehehehe, the van I have is big enough for 12 people max, so I thought about inviting some others to come with us." Kyle explained.
Just then, two people wearing identical outfits came running up to the shop.
"Mitch, Marilyn, what are you doing here?" Megan asked.
"We wanted to come watch you at regionals, and our parents said it was alright." Mitch answered.
"The more the merrier, I always say." Kyle said, as the group got in the van.
The van is a bit bigger than normal, of course the front row has the two seats, one for the driver (Kyle), and one for the shot gun (Tom). The middle row has enough room for four people (Max, Zack, Dan, and Megan), and the back row has enough room for everyone else (Koyoku, Greg, Mitch, and Marilyn).
"Is everyone buckled in?" Kyle asked.
"Yes." Everyone stated in unison.
"Alright, lets go!" Kyle exclaimed.
Kyle started the car, and carefully drove on the road.
"One question, why is Tom in shot gun?" Koyoku asked.
"He memorized the map, and can tell Kyle which roads to take to get us there faster." Max explained.
"Oh, that's handy." Koyoku thought.
With careful instructions from Tom's memory, Kyle drove the van safely to the tournament site. The group walked Into the building, the lobby was pretty big, the walls were light blue, and the ceiling was a darker shade of blue. There's several offices around the lobby, where teams can go to register for the tournament.
"Alright, Tom, you get the forms for you, me, and the team, while I'll take these 5 to the spectator seats." Kyle told Tom.
"Sure, no problem." Tom responded, and started walking to the registration office.
"Wow, always the busy bee." Kyle said as he dragged the 5 preteens to the spectator isles.
Megan Max, and Greg waited in the lobby, and just started working on their decks.
"There's only 2 teams here that I'm fairly worried about." Megan said suddenly.
"Oh yeah, who?" Max asked.
"First off, there's team Knightly Order, who came in second place last time around, the members all use paladin clans, and rumor has it, that the leader himself has a Sky Paladin deck." Megan started.
"Then there's team Frozen Flame, the members all use clans from both the Magellanica and Dragon Empire nations." Greg added
"Sounds like you did your homework." Max noted.
"Well, we only wanted to be prepared." Megan defended.
"That's nice of you, but have you seen me and Tom play?" Max asked but Megan gave no response
"Exactly." Max stated.
*attention, the first match will be starting soon, all participants please get ready in arena 1. Any teams not registered have only one hour left before registration closes.* a female voice said over the Intercom.
"I knew he shouldn't have made that left turn at Albakerky." Tom thought as he got the forms.
Tom raced back to the team, and the 4 of them filled out the forms, and Tom handed them in at the registry office.
"Our manager didn't fill out his form yet, is that a problem?" Tom asked.
"No, but he will have to fill it out before your team's first game, or after the tournament for the official registration." The lady at the desk told Tom.
"Alright, I'll make sure that happens." Tom told her as he handed in four of the forms.
"Thank you, and enjoy the tournament." The woman at the desk told Tom.
"Thanks, you too." Tom told her back as he started to run back to his teammates.
"So, did you fill out Kyle's stuff?" Megan asked as Tom came back.
"No, I told them about our manager, and they understood." Tom answered.
"Oh, alright." Megan stated.
"Anyway, the first match is about to start soon, so lets go see." Max said excitedly.
The four of them walked in arena one. The building was pretty big, it's walls are cream, with the symbol for limit break on all 4 sides and the ceiling, 2 sets of motion figure systems sit in the center of the floor.
"Hello, I'm MC Seyia, hosting all by myself this time, and here's the first match: Team Knightly Order, vs Team Wild Nature." Seyia informed through his speakers.
"Team Knightly Order first, interesting." Tom thought.
Unfortunately, I can't show the first fight in full, but I can show you the end game
Knightly Order member 1 - Wild Nature member 1
3 - hand - 2
4 - damage - 5
5 - soul - 2
1 - counterblast - 3
Knight of Elegant Skills Gareth, Blaster Blade Spirit - Compass Lion, Silver Wolf
Little Battler Tron, Solitary Liberator Gancelot - School Hunter Leopald, empty
Advance of the Black Chains Kahedin, Player of the Holy Bow Vivian - Magnet Crocodile, Coiling Duckbill
"Final turn. Break ride Blazing Lion Platina Ezel! Platinum Spirit Wing." Knightly Order Member 1 called out.
"The vanguard and 3 rearguards gets 10000 power, and 2 units get 5000 power from that combo." Tom noticed.
"Gold Paladin." Max stated shocked.
"With support from Tron, Ezel attacks Leopald, taking in all effects, the power for this attack is 43000." Knightly order member 1 informed.
"I don't guard." Wild nature's first member informed.
"Twin drive, second check, got it a critical trigger." Knightly order's first member revealed.
"Damage check... I lost." Wild Nature's first member informed.
"There you have it folks, Knightly Order takes the first win, now can we have the next two members?" Seyia asked.
"Good work Mat, now I can clean up." Knightly Order's leader stated happily, as a flash of yellow light appeared on his eye.
"Good luck, Alan." Mat thought.
Alan has bright blue hair, yellow eyes, and is currently cosplaying Link from Legends of Zelda.
"Its Alan Marcus, leader of Team Knightly Order vs Jack Shapiro, leader of team Wild Nature.
Meanwhile, we see Sora, Brian, and Dragan watching from the opposite side of the bleachers.
"There's something different about Alan." Dragan said suddenly.
"Yeah, by the way his eyes look, they feel colder than my clan." Brian stated.
"Well, he must have gotten stronger through training is all." Sora told her teammates.
"Possibly, but there's something strange." Brian thought.
The camera in our heads now head down to the stadium floor, where the game is about to begin.
"Jack, was it, you have no chance against my strength." Alan told him.
"What does that mean?" Jack asked.
Alan has short blond hair, and brilliant green eyes. He wears a casual outfit of short, blue pants, and a red t-shirt.
"Let me show you." Alan stated as his eyes started to glow.
Immediately, Megan started to shiver, despite the warmth in the room.
"Megan, you alright?" Max asked.
"Yeah." Megan answered.
"It has to be Psyqualia, but, there's no possible way." Megan thought.
"If both fighters are ready, begin." The referee told thr two fighters.
"Stand up, Vanguard." Both fighters declared.
As soon as they flipped over their vanguards, the field changed to the African Savannah, but the sky has shows several moons close to Cray's orbit.
"Schoolyard Prodigy Lox (4000)." Jack revealed
Jack became a small white elephant with a red mark in the shape of a triangle on its forehead. The elephant wears small purple robes, and a blue band on its wrist.
"Little Hero Perseus (4000)." Alan revealed
Alan became a young boy in a brown cloak, he keeps his long brown hair in a ponytail, and his eyes a brilliant blue.
Que in the anime split screen effect between Max, Megan, Greg, Tom, Dragan, Brian, Sora, Dan, and Zack.
"No way, the Sky Paladin deck itself." Megan said stunned.
"I guess the rumors are true then." Greg stated, equally shocked.
"Sky Paladin, this will be trouble." Tom thought.
We now go over to team Underdogs, Mitch, and Marilyn who are also sitting in the bleachers.
"Why are the two of you so shocked?" Mitch asked.
"Simple, Sky Paladin is not a clan to be taken lightly; they're basically Infirntiy from Yugioh." Dan explained.
"Oh, can't wait to see how its played." Mitch said, intrigued.
We now go to Team Frozen Flame, whose members are still in shock.
"Last time, Alan used a Soul Saver Dragon deck, why did he change clans, and how did he get the Sky Paladin deck?" Brian asked.
"No clue, but this match should be interesting." Sora noted.
"You can go first, not that it'll matter." Alan smiled darkly.
"Draw, and ride Bringer of Knowledge Lox (7000)." Jack informed
Jack's vanguard grew up, his skin is still cream, but more red markings appeared on his legs. Red diamonds have grown from his nose, and he wears a gold crown on his head. He has white hair flowing to the back, and his back is covered by a blue robe.
"As long as Schoolyard Prodigy is in the soul, I add 1000 power (8000), then I check the top 7 for Law Official Lox, and add it to my hand." Jack revealed.
"Boring, is that all you can do?" Alan asked.
"No, I call Pencil Squire Hammsuke (6000), and end my turn." Jack informed.
Alan - Jack
5 - hand - 5
0 - damage - 0
0 - soul - 1
0 - counterblast - 0
Empty, empty - empty, Pencil Squire Hammsuke
Empty, Little Hero Perseus - Bringer of Knowledge Lox, empty
Empty, empty - empty, empty
"Draw, I ride Hopeful Hero Perseus (7000)." Alan informed
Alan's vanguard grew older as well, he still wears his brown cloak, but its not as big as it used to be. His hair is still long, brown, and in a ponytail. He carries a katana in a two handed grip.
"Like your chain, I add 1000 power (8000), then I check the top 7 cards, and add Hero of the Skies Perseus to my hand." Alan revealed.
"Sky Paladin works by sacrificing your hand for big power. I hope this guy knows what he's doing." Tom thought.
"I call Rusty Jetpack Skeiron (6000), and Skyward Messenger Iris (8000) to rearguard." Alan informed.
"Why's he doing that?" Mitch asked.
"Because he knows his opponent can't do a thing about the call he made." Zack explained.
"Iris attacks your vanguard (8000)." Alan declared.
"No guard...damage check (Cable Sheep - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
"With support from Skeiron, Perseus attacks (14000)." Alan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack informed.
"Drive check (Flying Beast Knight Aether - stand trigger) I give all the effects to Iris (13000)." Alan revealed.
Perseus jumped up in the air, and then came swooping down. He readied his sword in mid air, and slashed Lox on the side, a gash opened up, spilling some blood.
"Damage check (Pencil Knight Hammsuke - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
"Go Iris (13000)." Alan declared.
"I guard with Triangle Cobra (18000)." Jack countered.
"In that case, I end my turn." Alan informed.
Alan - Jack
5 - hand - 4
0 - damage - 2
1 - soul - 1
0 - counterblast - 0
Empty, Skyward Messenger Iris - empty, Pencil Squire Hammsuke
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Hopeful Hero Perseus - Bringer of Knowledge Lox, empty
Empty, empty - empty, empty
"The way Alan commands his units." Tom started thinking.
"Its so cold and heartless." Sora thought, finishing Tom's thought unknowingly.
"Draw, I ride Law Official Lox (9000)." Jack declared
Jack's vanguard grew even bigger. It's skin is almost completely red, and its protected by an armor of books. This elephant's tusks are now golden, and it still wears that blue robe.
"When riding I add 1000 power (10000), next I give Hammsuke the ability to let me draw a card when retired, then I call Silver Wolf (8000), Compass Lion (11000), and Monoculus Tiger (7000). Whenever I call Monoculus Tiger, I select one unit, and that unit gets +4000 power. I give that power to Hammsuke (10000)." Jack informed.
Alan didn't react to Jack's play; all he did was stare at Lox.
"With support from Hammsuke, Compass Lion attacks your vanguard (21000)." Jack declared
"No guard...damage check (Sky Rider Aura - no trigger)." Alan revealed.
"With support from Silver Wolf, Lox attacks your vanguard (18000)." Jack declared
"I don't guard." Alan decided.
"Drive check (Fortune Bringing Cat - draw trigger) I give 5000 to my vanguard (23000), and I draw." Jack revealed.
Running at high speed, lox rams into Perseus, the force of that attack forced Perseus on the ground, and caused Perseus some pain in the process.
"Damage check (Sky Rider Chaos - no trigger)." Alan revealed.
"During the end phase, Compass Lion's ability activates, which means Monoculus Tiger is retired, and through Tiger's skill I retire Hammsuke. Hammsuke's skill, I counterblast 1, and I search my deck for Pencil Squire Hammsuke, and add it to my hand; finally, I draw one card through Lox's skill." Jack informed.
Alan - Jack
5 - hand - 5
2 - damage - 2
1 - soul - 2
0 - counterblast - 1
Empty, Skyward Messenger Iris - Compass Lion, empty
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Hopeful Hero Perseus - Law Official Lox, Silver Wolf
Empty, empty - empty, empty
"That's why he rushed." Tom stated.
"Yeah, he knew through all his skills, he'd be able to fill his hand back up." Greg stated, understanding what Tom meant.
"Hey guys, what's happening?" Kyle asked as he walked up.
"Kyle, here, you need to fill this out sometime today." Tom stated while giving the forms to him.
"Thanks, I'll take care of it." Kyle said as he started to work on the forms.
Okay, I think that's enough of the peanut gallery for now; lets get back to the fight.
"Draw, I ride Aspiring Hero Perseus (9000)." Alan informed.
Close to becoming the full fledged hero, Perseus grows a little bigger, and his cloak becomes nothing more than a cape. He carries twin swords, and his hair is still brown and in the ponytail style its been in all his life.
"Adding 1000 power (10000), next I soul blast 1, bind three cards in my hand, and I check the top card of my deck... I superior call Celestial Avenger Tisiphone (10000)." Alan revealed.
"So that's how the chain works." Tom thought
"I move Iris back, and call Chione (8000). Chione's skill, I counterblast 1, and bind the remaining card in my hand, I soul charge and add 2000 to Tisiphone (12000)." Alan informed.
Soul charge: Queen of Divine Beauty Andromeda - no trigger.
"What's the point of that?" Mitch asked.
"Skeiron's skill, it gives the unit its boosting another 4000 power when you attack and there's no cards in your hand." Zack explained.
"And he'll have a bigger hand when the turn ends, because this is a temp binding." Dan added.
"With support from Iris, Chione attacks Compass Lion (16000)." Alan declared.
"I guard with Eraser Alpaca (21000)." Jack decided as he slipped the card from the guardian circle to the drop zone.
"With support from Skeiron, Perseus attacks. Whenever I have no cards in my hand, Skeiron's skill adds 4000 to the boosted unit (20000)." Alan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack insisted.
"Drive check (Golden Flash Athena - critical trigger) I give 5000 to Tisiphone (17000), and the critical to my vanguard (2 critical)." Alan revealed.
Combining his two swords into one, Perseus moves fast towards the armored elephant. Like a lance, he jabs Lox precisely near the heart of this beast.
"Damage check (Explosion Scientist Bunta - no trigger) second check (Dictionary Goat - heal trigger) I give 5000 to my vanguard (15000), and I recover one point." Jack revealed.
"Tisiphone attack (17000)." Alan commanded coldly.
"I guard with Fortune Bringing Cat (20000 total defense)." Jack countered.
"I end my turn, and in doing so, all the cards I bound return to my hand." Alan stated.
Alan - Jack
5 - hand - 3
2 - damage - 3
2 - soul - 2
1 - Counterblast - 1
Skyward Messenger Iris, Princess of Pristine Snow Chione - Compass Lion, empty
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Aspiring Hero Perseus - Law Official Lox, Silver Wolf
Empty, Celestial Avenger Tisiphone - empty, empty
"Stand and draw." Jack called out.
"You don't stand a chance against me, so why even bother?" Alan asked as his eyes started to glow again.
"I'll show you that you're not as strong as you think you are. Master teacher, lets bring knowledge to the university, I ride Honorary Professor Chatnoir (11000)." Jack declared.
The elephant shrunk in size, and became a purple cat wearing a graduation robe. Its eyes are an emerald green, and wears a monocle on its left eye.
"I call Pencil Squire Hammsuke (6000), Binoculus Tiger (9000), and Coiling Duckbill (7000), and with the effects of both Duckbill and Binoculus Tiger, I give Hammsuke 4000 power, and a new skill (Hammsuke 10000)." Jack informed.
"You're risking a lot to do 4 damage to me, but your effort is futile, my winning image has shown your defeat." Alan told him.
"With support from Hammsuke, Compass Lion attacks Tisiphone (21000)." Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Alan informed as he slipped the card in the drop zone.
"With support from Silver Wolf, my vanguard attacks yours, and I add 2000 thanks to Chatnoir's skill (21000)." Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Alan decided.
"Twin drive (Triangle Cobra - critical trigger) I give the power to Tiger (14000), and the critical to my vanguard (2 critical), second check (Guardian of Truth Lox - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
The purple cat stretched its arms out, and generated two shadow like arms, which slashed Perseus in the chest.
"Damage check (Rusty Jetpack Skeiron - no trigger), second check (Skyward Healer Sona - heal trigger) 5000 to my vanguard (15000), and I recover 1 point." Alan revealed.
"With the support of Duckbill, Binoculus Tiger attacks your vanguard (21000)." Jack declared.
"Athena will guard (25000)." Alan countered.
"The end phase begins: I gave a skill to Hammsuke, but before that, I activate Lion's skill to retire Hammsuke, then I counterblast and add my third copy of Pencil Squire Hammsuke to my hand, and since I retired a unit that duckbill gave a skill to, I get to draw one card. I end my turn." Jack informed.
Alan - Jack
4 - hand - 4
3 - damage - 3
2 - soul - 3
1 - counterblast - 2
Skyward Messenger Iris, Princess of Pristine Snow Chione - Compass Lion, empty
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Aspiring Hero Perseus - Honorary Professor Chatnoir, Silver Wolf
Empty, empty - Binoculus Tiger, Coiling Duckbill
"Stand and draw." Alan called out.
"This match is pretty even so far, but there's something not right in the air about this guy." Sora stated.
"I see what you mean, based on damage and hand size, its fine, but their fields are too different in quality." Brian added.
"So who's going to win it then?" Dragan asked.
"I'm not sure." Sora stated simply.
"Absolve the world's take on truth and lies, I ride Shining Aureole Absolver Helios (11000)." Alan informed.
Taking on a gender bend, Perseus transformed into a golden haired maiden with matching earnings. Her eyes are a stunning grey, and her outfit is a long pink dress with white laces. Helios carries a bow and arrow over her back.
"An Absolver!" Dan and Zack said at the same time
"What?" Their three companions asked.
"The Absolvers are the sub clan to the Sky Paladin deck, and that sub-clan is currently incomplete." Dan explained
"The sub clan focuses on permanently binding the hand, and some units can get those cards back into the hand." Zack added.
"This guy is scary, I hope the great nature player wins." Koyoku stated.
Now we go back to team Frozen Flame.
"Alan, what happened to you, you weren't like this last year?" Sora asked.
"I call Iris (8000), and Tisiphone (10000)." Alan informed.
"He still has Hero of the Skies in his hand, but why won't he use it?" Jack found himself asking.
"With support from Iris, Tisiphone attacks Binoculus Tiger (18000)." Alan declared.
"No guard." Jack decided.
"With support from Skeiron, Helios attacks your vanguard, and with her skill, I add 2000 power (19000)." Alan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack stated as he looked at his hand.
"Twin drive (Golden Flash Athena - critical trigger) obviously my vanguard takes the critical (2 critical), and I give the power Chione (13000), and the second check (Guardian of the Skies Achelois - no trigger)." Alan revealed.
Helios raised her bow, and launched the arrow at the cat. The arrow hit Its mark in the cat's tail.
"Damage check (Coiling Duckbill - no trigger) second check (Compass Lion - no trigger)." Jack revealed
"With support from Iris, Chione attacks your vanguard (21000)." Alan declared.
"Triangle Cobra and Hammsuke guard (26000)." Jack countered.
"That ends my turn, this is your last chance to turn the game around." Alan stated darkly.
Alan - Jack
4 - hand - 2
3 - damage - 5
3 - soul - 3
1 - counterblast - 2
Skyward Messenger Iris, Princess of Pristine Snow Chione - Compass Lion, empty
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Shining Aureole Absolver Helios - Honorary Professor Chatnoir, Silver Wolf
Skyward Messenger Iris, Celestial Avenger Tisiphone - empty, Coiling Duckbill
"Stand and draw." Jack called out.
"Learn from the professor, and take his teachings to heart, I break-ride Guardian of Truth Lox (10000)." Jack declared.
The cat evolved into a giant red elephant wearing a gold mask and jewels on his legs, and his back is covered by a book shell.
"Break ride skill, I add 10000 power, and since Law Official Lox is in the soul, that's another 1000 power (21000), and I call Geograph Giant (10000). Now Persona Blast: by paying the cost, I give Compass Lion 4000 power, and plus 1 critical (15000 power, 2 critical)."
"Yawn, I thought you'd be a challenge." Alan said tiredly.
"Geograph Giant attack Helios with Duckbill's support (17000,Compass Lion 19000 power, 2 critical)." Jack declared.
"I guard with Athena (21000)" Alan countered
"With support from Silver Wolf, my vanguard attacks (29000, Compass Lion 19000, 2 critical)."
I nullify the attack with Achelois (perfect guard)." Alan countered.
"Twin drive (Castanet Donkey - draw trigger) 5000 to Lion (24000), and I draw, second check (Eraser Alpaca - stand trigger) I give 5000 to Lion (29000), and I stand Giant." Jack revealed.
The elephant started charging, but the shield of the gods stopped that attack with ease.
"Okay, adding the persona blast, that's 15000, then applying the triggers that's 25000 power." Koyoku started.
"No, Chatnoir's skill, when you ride over him, you select one unit, and that unit gets 4000 power each time a rearguard attacks a vanguard, and in that case, the stand trigger actually helps out a lot, for more than 30000 power." Zack explained.
"So the Great Nature player's going to win?" Mitch asked.
"No, he doesn't have the critical or power level needed." Zack answered.
"Geograph Giant attacks your vanguard (10000, Compass Lion 33000 power, 2 critical)." Jack declared.
"Just for the fun of it, I'm going to say no guard." Alan laughed.
"Here he comes, Compass Lion attacks your vanguard, and thanks to Chatnoir, my persona blast, and the double trigger, he's attacking you with the strength of a thousand Lions (37000, 2 critical)." Jack declared.
"No guard...damage check (Flying Beast Knight Aether - draw trigger) I draw one card, second check (Aspiring Hero Perseus - no trigger)." Alan revealed.
"During the end phase: through Chatnoir's skill, I retire Compass Lion, and draw one card." Jack explained.
Alan - Jack
2 - hand - 4
5 - damage - 5
3 - soul - 4
1 - counterblast - 3
Skyward Messenger Iris, Princess of Pristine Snow Chione - empty, empty
Rusty Jetpack Skeiron, Shining Aureole Absolver Helios - Guardian of Truth Lox, Silver Wolf

"Like I said, that was your last chance; Final Turn." Alan stated as his eyes started glowing.
"Alan has just declared Final Turn, is it all talk, or can he back it up?" Seyia asked the audience.
"No, it isn't talk." Tom stated.
"Wait, he can win it here?" Megan asked.
"Yeah, Alan units can force his opponent to guard with 10000 on the rearguard, and 15000 minimum on the vanguard, Jack can't win." Max answered.
"Give me the wings of victory, my avatar, Break Ride! Hero of the Skies Perseus (10000)." Alan declared
The female archer went through one last gender-bend, and became the full fledged Perseus. His hair is cream in color, and is still in a ponytail, his white over armor is metallic, and his black under armor is made of leather, and he carries two lances, one in each hand.
"Just like you, I add 11000 power to my vanguard (21000)." Alan explained.
"I'll have to guard with everything against the vanguard." Jack thought.
"With support from Skeiron, Perseus attacks, the break ride skill, I bind all the cards in my hand, and the top card of my deck, and then everything from the bind zone will go back to my hand!" Alan exclaimed.
"And that's not all, now that the attack has been declared, two skills have just been activated." Sora explained to Dragan and Brian.
"Skeiron makes his boost 10000,and my limit break! My vanguard gets 5000 power and plus one critical. This attack is more than Holy Charging Lance, its now called Charging Arrow Lancer (36000, 2 critical)." Alan declared.
"Eraser Alpaca, Castanet Donkey, and Triangle Cobra and Compass Lion will guard, Geograph Giant intercepts (46000 defense)." Jack countered.
"That's not enough, he needs another 5000." Mitch stated.
"No, even If he is successful in blocking, there's two more attacks to deal with, he guarded with everything to make sure he could survive this attack." Dan explained.
"Twin drive (Golden Flash Athena - critical trigger) I give all effects to my vanguard (41000, 3 critical) second check (Skyward Healer Sona - heal trigger) I give 5000 to my vanguard (46000, 3 critical) , and recover one point of damage." Alan revealed.
Perseus combined his two lances, and then started to fly at lighting speed; the speed generated made it seem like the lance was spinning. Perseus easily broke through the wall of defenders, and stabbed the red elephant in the area of the heart, which caused a huge explosion. The top card of Jack's deck flown into the damage zone, and the game was forced to end.
"The winner of the match, Alan Marcus." The referee stated.
"There you have it, the first game is over, we'll have a small intermission, do the next two teams better get ready." Seyia stated.
We now go over to Samurai Dragon, all the members are stunned from the what happened in the battle.
"Team Knightly Order's leader has Psyqualia." Megan stated.
"What!?, that's just perfect." Tom stated sarcastically.
"And we still have no idea what team Frozen Flare can do." Greg added.
"We're not scheduled to go up for a while, so we have plenty of time." Tom told his teammates.
"Right." Max said happily.
We now go over to Team Frozen Flame.
"Alan changed, and not for the better." Sora told her teammates.
"Yeah, using the Sky Paladin deck like that, it makes me feel broken on the inside." Brian admitted.
"Well, I'm not going to let him get away with that, when are we going up?" Dragan asked.
"Soon, we're scheduled for the second to last fight, so it should be simple to win." Sora explained.
Well things are looking a bit dark, but we have to end it off here
Mitch&Marilyn: that was too scary
Sora: it's fine, there won't be much of that left for the tournament
Tom: I hope you're right
All: next time: frozen Warriors and Lawless Pirates
Max: my clan's ancestor, that's not possible
I'm only making this change because I really want to write about my oc clans now
