Hi readers! I'm back with a new chapter, Chapter 10, Last Dance! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Ren's POV
" I've known Asaka since I started gathering fighters here in this building. We've been on the same team since I formed AL4." I thought in my head
Flashback start
" Asia Circuit?" Asaka ask
" That's right. Naturally, we were invited." Tetsu said
" Asaka, you'll come too, won't you?" I ask
" Of course. I'd love to, Ren-sama." Asaka replied
" Tetsu says he won't participate." I said
" I'm busy preparing for the new business venture. But I will accompany you, and have already recruited a new fighter in my stead." Tetsu said
" A new fighter...?" Asaka said
The person entered
" Toshiki Kai!" Asaka exclaimed
" It seems he was just killing time on a park bench." I said
" On a... park bench?" Asaka said
" With Kai and me there, this Circuit will be easy-peasy!" I said
I sneakily hid behind Tetsu's door and listened to their conversation.
" What are you doing? He told you to follow him on the Circuit, didn't he?" Tetsu ask
" I don't enter into the winning equation." Asaka said
" Is it frustrating?" Tetsu ask
" Of course! I'm getting stronger for Ren-sama. I win for him... and yet..." Asaka said and turned around
Tetsu glanced back at me...
" Shhh!" I said
" I don't want to lose to Kai, of all people." Asaka said
" That's the spirit. Maybe Ren is also... I mean, Ren is counting on that determination of yours. It means you'll get stronger." Tetsu said
" Yeah..." Asaka said
I closed the door.
" I am counting on you, Asaka." I said to myself
Flashback end
" The best part about Asaka is that she hates losing more than anyone. And she tries harder than anyone." I thought to myself
" I'll have to disappoint you, Asaka. I never would have guessed that you wanted to control me. But I'll use my strength right now to defeat you and change those thoughts." I said
" Give it your best shot." Asaka said
" You who moves beyond despair, whether that be hell or a land of nothingness, take the power reflected in your eyes and teach your opponent a lesson! Break ride! Illusionary Revenger, Mordred Phantom! Stand up again, my avatar! Blaster Dark Revenger! Go to Hades... Lilian! Doreen's skill. Blaster Dark attacks!" I declared
" Guard!" Asaka declared
" Mordred Phantom!" I declared
" Lydia! Perfect guard!" Asaka declared
" Twin drive check. I got one. I give the power to this Blaster Dark... and heal 1 damage point. Blaster Dark!" I declared
" No guard!" Asaka declared
The damage is now 4-5.
" You turned the tables on me. But you weren't able to win. All I need to do to win is to give you 2 damage next turn. Just a little more... Just a little more, and Ren-sama will be mine and mine alone. He'll be my personal puppet, dancing with me forever." Asaka said
Wow, that sends shivers down my spine.
" Just a little more... That's right, Asaka. You're definitely going to win! You're going to end this match next turn! Beat him... Beat him! Beat the strong fighter! Defeat Ren Suzugamori, and make him taste the despair of being turned into a doll! That's my mission. It's the purpose of this battle!" Asaka exclaimed
" Asaka?" I ask
" I'm not Asaka! Call me "Queen"! That's right. I'm a Queen. A lonely queen who's surrounded by obedient dolls. But if you become mine, my kingdom will be complete. Come, Ren Suzugamori. Together, we can build a happy kingdom. Serve me. Get down on your knees before me. Obey me! And now the circus's last act is going to begin. When your whip of thorns cracks, all dragons cower and throw themselves on the ground! Crossride! Silver Thorn Dragon Queen, Luquier "Reverse"!" Asaka declared
" What unit is this?!" I ask
" Luquier? No, this is different! That shining red and black form... The power of Reverse has reached it, just like Asaka-san!" Suiko-san exclaimed
" Even the units are Reversed?!" I ask
" That's right. That's the tremendous power I wield now. It's the supreme entertainment! And seeing your face shiver in fear excites me to no end!" Asaka exclaimed
I am now truly mad... " You..." I said
" Even your useless struggles must end here, because this Luquier "Reverse" is going to bring you to your knees before me! Luquier in the Soul! Give your power to Queen Luquier "Reverse"! Soar, Luquier! Fly to the bright red darkness! Shine, squirming power and rubies of darkness! Luquier "Reverse's" Limit Break! I lock Barking Dragon! And final performer waiting behind the wing curtain, come up on stage! Superior call! Silver Thorn Beast Tamer, Maricica! Now, display your act that will close out the finale... Maricica!" Asaka declared
One of my Blaster Dark was taken out.
" I rubbed out one unit that was in the way. But now it's time for the Queen to appear! Silver Thorn Dragon Queen, Luquier "Reverse"! Mordred Phantom! Luquier "Reverse's" whip of thorns will dye your hide bright red!" Asaka declared
" Guard! Intercept!" I declared
" Struggle, struggle. Surrender to the writhing pain. Twin drive check. Criticl trigger. I give the effects to my rear-guard Luquier. The stage revolves around me. Now, show me, Luquier! Take down Mordred! And so it ends. Ladies and gentlemen, please cheer and give a big round of applause to Ren Suzugamori, who's had and agonizing loss!" Asaka said
" Guard! You won't beat me so easily. Not even if you have a unit that's gotten stronger through the power of Reverse." I said
" Turn end..." she declared
The lock on Barking Dragon was lifted.
" I have five card in my hand. Against you, who's got only one. And there's nothing in the front row to stand in my way. My victory in this showdown is solid. In other words, it's inevitable that you'll become mine. Oh, I know. Great idea! Before the curtain closes, I think I'll have you say: " I'm delighted to hve been stomped on by your circus." That's wonderful, isn't it?" Asaka said
" That's enough! Asaka Narumi..." I said
" Yes?"
" If you think I'm going to be a part of your playtime forever, you're solely mistaken. And if you really want to see a grand finale, I'll put an end to this for you." I said
" S-Stop looking at me like that! I'm not going to lose. I'm not weak, like I used to be! I...I..." she said
" I understand. I understand, Asaka. I know your best points... and how strong they make you. You said I don't look at you... but that time... and that time... I was watching you closely. Asaka, to me, you're... a dear friend! That's why I'm going to bring you back with my own hands! Break ride! Mordred Phantom! Stand up for me a third time! Blaster Dark Revenger!" I said
" His third Blaster Dark?!" Asaka exclaimed
" Be a good sport and got to Hades... Maricica! Doreen's skill. And one more unit... In my battleground, there's no victory without Blaster Dark. Call." I declared
" No way..." Asaka said
" His fourth Blaster Dark..." Suiko-san said
" Doreen's skill. I turn over one card in the Damage Zone. Asaka, I'm only going to say this once, so please listen carefully. From here on out, stay with me! Vamoose, Luquier." I said
" It's not like I want anything in return. Just by him... by Ren-sama being there, I could become stronger." Asaka said
" Mordred Phantom! Cut through the darkness that's holding Asaka captive! Come back to me, Asaka!" I shouted
The last damage went into her damage zone and she returned to normal.
" Asaka-san, are you all right?" Suiko-san ask while running towards her
" I've got a splitting headache for some reason... What am I...? What happened here?" Asaka ask
" You don't remember, do you?" Suiko-san said
I walked towards her.
" R-Ren-sama?" Asaka said
And the both of them whispered something for awhile and Suiko-san got up.
" U-Um... Ren-sama. D-Did I say something rude to you?" she ask
" Queen..." I replied
" Excuse me?" Asaka exclaimed, she was sweat dropping a lot.
Suiko-san just laughed.
" W-What!? What happened?!" Asaka ask
" Asaka." I said
" Y-Yes?!" she ask
I reached out my hand.
" Welcome back." I said with a smile
" R-Right..." she said
" But... I won't forgive it a second time." I said
She practically got scared.
" Let's go, Asaka. If you're okay that..." I said and turned away
" Yes, Ren-sama!" Asaka said and saluted
Suiko-san just sweat drop and laugh.
" Now that I think about it... I feel like I forgot about something." I said
Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... I looked at my hand.
" Oh right. Where is Kage?" I said
" Huh? Kage?" The two girls said
" My little pet." I said
Oops... A slip of my tongue.
Aichi's POV
The shop entrance opened. Persephone and Vivian appeared along with someone else.
" Huh? You're... Kage, Ren-san's box animal, why are you here?" I ask, squatting down
Kage suddenly collapsed.
" Kage?! A-Are you alright?!" I said
" What's wrong?" Misaki-san ask
" Kage suddenly came and collapse on the floor, I'm going to do a check on him." I said
She nodded.
I did a through check and I found something that made me a little annoyed.
" How is he?" Misaki-san ask
" All I can say is that his carefree master forgot to give him enough flames before coming out to find me and he collapsed because he ran out of energy." I said
" Did you find anything else, Brother Aichi?" Kamui-kun ask
" Well, I did find this burnt piece of paper in his mouth, but I can't see what it wrote since it was totally burnt." I said, holding up the piece of paper
Cue sweat drop...
" What is Ren-san doing?" I said, not even knowing the truth yet.
Ren's POV
We went up in the elevator and reached Tetsu's room.
" Tetsu!" I shouted
" Nobody's here..." Asaka said
" Tetsu-san is probably the one who Reversed the fighters from Fukuhara High and the Foo Fighter building." Suiko-san said
" Surely not!" Asaka said
I walked a little bit.
" Ren-sama?" Asaka said
" I see. The last boss is waiting in a place that's more appropriate for him. That's fine." I said
I tapped the ground using the tip of my shoe.
" Ren-sama..." Asaka said
The girls approached me but I stopped them. I was lifted by a platform that leads to the rooftop and he was standing there.
" Tetsu..." I said
" As expected, you made it this far, Ren Suzugamori. The top fighter of Foo Fighter is a perfect match for me." Tetsu said
" I suppose we really have to do this, huh?" I said, my deck slide out from my sleeve.
Lights lit up in the dark sky.
And that's it for this chapter! I hope all of you enjoyed it!
Ren: Must I really fight Tetsu?
Me: It's part of Bushiroad's storyline so we've got no choice.
Ren: But where's Kage?
Me: *sweat drop* About that... I received a text from Aichi and he said Kage did go to the shop but because of somebody who did not give him enough flames, he ran out of energy.
Ren: Oops... Then did he find the paper?
Me: A... burnt piece of paper.
Ren: Huh?! Then I'll go personally after I beat Tetsu then.
Me: Good luck. And that's it for this chat session! Thank you for reading!
