Hello and welcome back to 'Our Fight'! SURPRISE! EARLY UPDATE!

Written: 6/6/16- I just looked back at the previous chapter and realized this: That was probably the WORST chapter I have EVER written! Be honest, you all thought the same. (Sigh...) Well... since I'm getting a head start on this chapter and I won't be able to update this week, this chapter will hopefully (maybe, somewhat, kinda? Eh...) better than the previous one... (To self.) Let's get to work!

Written: 6/7/16- SURPRISE! I'm making an early update this week! Since I'm going on my class trip(As mentioned before in the previous chapter.) (And I'm leaving tomorrow, so there's that.), I won't be able to update on Saturday. Also, this chapter is sort of an apology for not making Ch. 10 as good as it should have been. I'm thinking of going back and rewriting it and fixing some stuff. Not to mention there was an entire scene I didn't get a chance to write in since I had thought of it last moment. (As in sometime after I updated the story. Talk about poor timing...) But for now, here's the next chapter to 'Our Fight'! Enjoy!

One more thing, if anyone decides to PM me between tomorrow and the Sunday of next week, I won't be able to respond right away or anytime soon. I'll be busy due to my class trip, so it most likely won't be until the following Monday that I'll be able to respond. Just a friendly heads-up to you all!

Disclaimer: I don't own 'Cardfight Vanguard' in any way what-so-ever.

Started: 6/6/16-Finished: 6/7/16

...

"I said no."

"Huh?!" Shouted Chrono Dran. "But why not?!"

"I just told you 'why not'!" Replied Chronojet in the same manner. "Cray is a dangerous place, even if all the Clans in this era and dimension are peaceful! This planet is no place for a human! We need to get him home as soon as possible!"

"I can take care of myself!" Pouted Chrono. "I'm not a little kid!"

"Yes, you are!"

"I can keep him safe!"

"You're still a kid too Dran!"

"And you're just an uptight big brother!"

"Yeah!"

"I AM NOT UPTIGHT! (I just worry...)"

Chronocharge Unicorn sighed from the patch of grass he was, trying, to nap on. It was much too early in the morning for this. If he wasn't so tired and aching all over- He is one of the older Units and was, as dubbed by the younger, more youthful Units, an old man- the Unit would have went over and helped support Chronojet. Then again, they, mostly Chronojet, are the ones preventing him from taking his nap, so he wasn't going to bother.

"You know..." Said Chronobeat Buffalo, who was sitting next to the elder Unit. "I don't think I've seen Chronojet this riled up since the time Dran got separated from us when we first arrived in this timeline."

"What about the time when he caught Brunham trying to teach his little brother the birds and bees?"

"WE AGREED NEVER TO SPEAK OF THAT AGAIN!" Shouted said Steam Rider from his place by the workshop with Kuda and Steam Solider, Alu- The second currently fixing Brunham's motorcycle from yet another crash. "I still get nightmares about that..."

"Then you never should have done it in the first place." Alu stoically said.

"But the kid asked!" Brunham protested.

"And you listened to him?" Spoke Kuda, not looking up from his work.

"..."

"Ah..." Chuckled Chronocharge as he watched the other Gear Chronicle Units' conversation. "To be young and so full of energy..." If his face were visible, Chronobeat would be seen smirking.

"Old man."

"You're not so young yourself." Chronocharge immediately replied.

"Yeah, but younger than you." Chronobeat playfully shot back.

… If only those times could last forever...

Poke.

"..."

Poke.

"..."

Poke.

"... Stop it."

"Not until you come and play with me, Drani, and the others." Said Chrono, not pausing in his poking. Interdimensional Dragon, Chronoscommand Revolution chuckled at the Zodiac Time Beast's 'situation'.

"Go on, Chronofang." Revolution said, waving a hand towards the opening in the wall- which served as a door. Of sorts. "I can handle the rest of the building. There's not much left anyway."

"Yeah!" Chrono exclaimed excitedly. "It's just moving rocks here and there for your... uh...?"

"Meeting place." Laughed Revolution.

"Yeah that!" Chronofang stared at the two in disbelief before sighing. If one of the elders wished so...

"... Fine... I'll play..."

"Alright!" Cheered Chrono. Jumping off of the large Unit's shoulder- How he managed to land on his feet, and perfectly considering he was a human and a child, was beyond Chronofang's understanding- and grabbed said Unit's clawed hand in an attempt to drag him along. It didn't do anything, but the Unit decided to go along with it.

"Look after them Chronofang!" The elder shouted after them.

"I will..."

"Bye Mr. Revolution!"

… If only we were more careful...

"... En-narda?"

" … Yes, Emellanna?"

"... Chronojet's gonna kill us... isn't he?"

"... He is... As well as Lasina-bel..."

Steam Mage, En-narda and Steam Scalar, Emellanna stared up at the sky. Or more specifically, stared up at an airborne blimp in the sky that was currently moving away from the Dark Zone's ruins. Along with one Chrono, and one Gear Cat Meshing Cogs. And said blimp was created by Lasina-bel who had been working on it for three years. THREE. YEARS.

"... Get Ruin Disposal."

"On it."

… If only we could have stopped that incident from ever happening...

"You look so adorable!" Squealed Merianna as she brought in a full body mirror- Time stream knows where she got and how she found one- into the room and placed it in front of Chrono.

"Ms. Merianna..." Pouted Chrono. "This is embarrassing..." Said Unit only squealed more at this as she grabbed the swirly, red-haired boy in a tight hug.

"Your just too cute!" She shouted in delight.

Ka-lanma slightly chuckled at the scene. Apparently, a few hours ago, Merianna had the brilliant idea of dressing up Chrono in some spare clothing the Clan had lying around while claiming: "Since he said that he'll be joining our Clan once he's old enough, I think it's best that I find Chrono some clothes that'll suit him. So when the time comes we can make them in his size when he joins!" But if you knew her well like Ka-lanma, and Tauge for that matter, you'd know she just wanted to dress up Chrono in cute clothes like a doll.

Not that Ka-lanma was complaining though.

… If only...

"Chrono... You..." Muttered Rive as he stared in shock at his son.

"Look Dad!" Shouted Chrono excitedly gesturing to the open portal in front of them. "I told you Gear Chronicle's real! See? This is my best friend, Drani!"

"Gear Chronicle... is real?"

"Very real." Said Ryuzu as he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "And thanks to them and Peacemaker, we'll be able to lead our world to a perfect future." Turning around, he faced the scientists around them. "Prepare the Depend Cards!"

… If only...

"Forget about it. Forget about the Units, Vanguard, everything."

If only Rive hadn't taken you away from us.

"Gah!" Hiroki jumped back from the capsule containing Chronofang in shock. A moment ago the Unit was just floating in it's container like a puppet just hanging off its strings. But, just now, it had suddenly hit the glass with a hard punch to it, slightly cracking it. Which is surprising considering that the Unit was supposed to have been stripped of it's free will.

"Well... Isn't this something?" Spoke Shouma as he walked into the room with Am. "I wonder what could have caused such a reaction?"

"This is..." Whispered Am as she stared at the glass. "This shouldn't be possible... Should it?" Am looked towards Shouma for an answer, but he didn't show any sign or intent of giving her one.

"Under normal circumstances, no." The trio turned to the observation room where Ryuzu- he was the one who spoke- Enishi, and Luna stood, the third blankly staring at the Units. "But as we are dealing with the Zodiac Time Beasts, it is entirely possible for them to act this way."

"But what caused it to act like this now? Why not before?" Asked Am.

"It was because they had yet to come into contact with their Vanguard."

"Their Vanguard?" Questioned Hiroki.

"Yes." Nodded Ryuzu. "That meeting triggered the memories we had blocked off when we summoned them, and now they are only reacting to emotions they felt in them."

"Hey wait a minute!" Yelled Hiroki. "How did their 'Vanguard' come into contact with them? We're the only one's who've been in here!"

"In this building at least." Corrected Enishi. "Ibuki and his group also came into contact with the Units when they invaded our old base."

"Which I destroyed!"

"So, it was someone from Koujin's group?" Asked Am, ignoring the Dimension Police user. Ryuzu nodded in confirmation.

"Then who was it?" Asked Shouma with a curious expression. Though by the look in his eyes and the tone in his voice, it was obvious he already knew who it was. Luna, who was staring at the currently summoned Units, turned to Am with blank eyes and a smile- Which greatly unnerved Am and Hiroki, but the latter would deny that he wasn't scared.

"The first Peacemaker," Luna softly said. "Chrono Shindou."

...

Heheh... It's always fun to write Gear Chronicle Units, wether it be in the past or the present. Giving them character is a thrill as well! I should put more of these scenes in future chapters! (Also, Chrono as a child is ABSOLUTELY adorable!)

So that was 'Chapter 11: Stolen Treasure'! (I came up with this at the last moment.) Hope you all enjoyed it! Stars... I was SO happy when I managed to finish this, and in record time too! Two days! That's quite an achievement if I do say so myself! And now the rest of Company knows about why Ryuzu is so interested in Chrono! What are they going to do about it? Guess we'll (You all) find out in the coming chapters!

Review Responses- I didn't get any for the previous chapter, but then again, this is an early update. If there are any reviews for Ch. 10, I'll write them up on the next chapter, ok? Ok. (The following is a review for Ch. 9)

Grima- I'll say this, things are probably going to get worse. (I don't really know as I'm still trying to fix some of the snags in the plot.) And no, Chrono still doesn't know who the shadowy figure is. Do you think you know who it is Grima?

Reaction Corner- Again, early update. I'll have my reaction for this week's episode in the next chapter along with next week's episode.

On a side note, I was repeatedly looping 'Make Time' and 'Gone' from the HetaOni OST while writing out the Gear Chronicle scenes this chapter. Then I listened to 'Remember' and 'One' from the same OST during the Company scene. And that's just weird because the latter two songs would go well with the Gear Chronicle scenes and the former two with the Company scene... Or maybe they all go well with the Gear Chronicle scenes!... And then I suddenly find myself listening to 'Misery Loves My Company'... Eh...

Until The Next Raid!
