Valodor mind: Maka's sister…

Valodor remembered back a girl with long blond hair with a gentle smile shining in front of him

Valodor mind: Ayara…that girl confessed me her letter once to me. From all the girls who gave me their letters she was the one who did that personal as a gift for me.

Valodor mind: I accepted the letter and read it. Realising she really meant it, however…my family owns a giant company and wishes me to marry a rich girl instead and forced me to dump Ayara.

Valodor mind: it didn't hurt me, we were only dating for a few days but when I dumped her.

Ayara flashback: why? Why are you dumping me!

Valodor mind: she wanted to know…of course if I told her the truth she wouldn't back down…so there for…

Valodor flashback: why, hmph, it's simple actually.

Valodor smirks in front of Ayara and crossed his arms.

Valodor flashback: your too boring and obnoxious to be worthy of being my girlfriend.

Ayara widens her eyes and tears flowed down as she hit Valodor cheek hard and ran away. Valodor kept his smirking up until she was away. When she did his smirk faded as he place his hand on her cheek

Valodor mind: after that, I received many nicknames among the students…the womanizer…rose knight…player. I despise all those who call me that and became that very thing they called me.

Valodor: Mr Romeo, you may say what you want but my story stands, Maka's sister isn't good enough for me.

Maka began the groan while I kept my face straight for seeing his face differently.

Roy mind:…what should I do…should I bet on a trigger, or guard now?...

TSS mind: Roy-kun, think hard, this turn could be your last.

Valodor: your winds-chan is mine!

My eyes widen when he said that as I bared my teeth

Roy: no one calls her that expect me!

Maka and Blaster expanded their eyes for my confession as Winds slightly blushes when I said it.

Roy: I'll take you on, no guard!

TSS mind: WHAT!

I saw my image of Valodor unit strike down my Lion but it blocked with his two sabers pushing upwards against his maiden leaved covered lady with a giant green sword made out of the forest.

Valodor: that was a mistake, if I get critical you will lose.

Roy: damage check!

Damage check, Elixir Sommelier [ heal trigger ]

Roy: heal trigger, activated!

Valodor: grr, still, my damage is 4, yours was at 3 so you cant heal unless you have more damage then the opponent

Roy: even so, thanks to the heal, my vanguard gains 5000 +

The lion broke free from the leaved maiden as she retreated back.

Valodor: not bad, but let see you stop this! Caramel Popcorn boosted, Maiden of Trailing Rose attack!

Maiden of Trailing Rose 20000 power versus Incandescent Lion, Blond 15000 power

Valodor mind: even if I don't get critical, if he is dumb enough to no guard my vanguard attack I can use her persona blast to call forth 2 new unites to field by discarding the same named card. All I have to do is get a trigger and victory will be mine.

Valodor: it's over! Mr Romeo!

Blaster/Maka: ROY!

Wind: Roy-kun!

In my image I saw the queen of the Neo nectar brewing a powerful wind with purple petals slowly turning into a straight forward tornado as she launched it with full strength to my Lion.

Roy: Halo Shield, Mark, perfect guard!

Halo Shield, Mark grade 1 6000 power/guard 0 [ shield ]

From my hand I discarded Charjgal to drop zone and placed the card from my hand on the guard circle

Valodor: perfect guard!

In front of the lion, a brave guardian with a red feather on his helmet cast out his gauntlet in front of him and creates a magical barrier to protect my Lion. The petals hitting the Shield but didn't go trough as they all got directed sideways.

Valodor: Grr, it's not over yet, twin drive! First check!

Valodor: your still 5000 guard short, this match is mine!

Roy: and Sleygal Sword [ 5000 guard ], intercept!

Iris knight 25000 power versus Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel 30000 power

Valodor:…my…final turn…

Note: I'm not good with flower names but if you know the purple flower name it would help out to edit this part better.

Valodor purple flowered green armoured knight didn't dare to pass the 3 unites protecting the Lion as they glared towards the knight.

Valodor: hehe…still, I got 4 cards in my hand and a intercept, plus 2 damage to let your attacks go trough.

Roy: maybe, but two cards from your hand is already grade 3 with no guard. So 2 cards won't be able to guard.

Valodor: grr…

Valodor hand started to shake with his total guard is 20000

Valodor mind: I need a trigger to guard myself…

Roy: stand and draw! Blond Ezel! Limit break!

Flipped over my 2 damage cards and then flipped over the top card to reveal Battlefield Storm, Sagramore

Valodor: n-no way!

Battlefield Storm, Sagramore grade 3 10000 power/guard 0 [ left top rear ]

Roy: Blond Ezel gains power equal to the superior called unit.

Sleygal Double Edge 12000 + 5000 = 17000 power

Valodor mind: come on…please be a trigger…

Valodor:…damage…check

Valodor slowly flipped over his top card as it revealed Maiden of Trailing Rose

Valodor: no trigger…

Blaster: this is it just, one more damage!

Roy: Silver Fang Witch boosted, Sleygal Double Edge, Final attack!

Saw the image of the white wolf howling as it charged to the queen, the wolf jumped and clashed the queen as he passed by her. They both stood still but the queen flinches and started to disappear from the slash of the wolf double edged sword.

Valodor last card hit the damage zone has it was no heal trigger.

TSS: winner, Roy-kun! He will proceed to the semi-finals!

Blaster: yes he did it!

Maka:…Roy…you did it…

I slowly breath out as I was a little shaky from the tense fight, but slowly Valodor walked over to my side and stared at me. We both looked in tense into each others eyes until suddenly. Valodor offered his hand to me and gave a light smile, I accepted it as we handshakes on my victory

Valodor: next time I will win, just so you know

Roy: I got luck on my side so next time I will get stronger.

Valodor smirked and put his hands into his pockets as he starts walking to the doors.

Blaster: wait, you won Roy, doesn't he need to explain the situation?

I kept quiet but I shake my head as I smiled to Blaster.

Roy: it's a love life Blaster, we have no right to force him why he did such things. But during our fight I saw something when he was thinking after my Blond Ezel.

Blaster: and what's that?

Roy: guilt…

Valodor stood still as he got discovered but he smirked and turned around.

Valodor: you got it all wrong Mr Romeo, I was thinking which tuxedo I should wear when I take your winds-chan from you.

Roy: sure Valodor, but as long I'm here, Winds will always have her own choices who she will end up with.

Valodor: hmph…until then…Roy-san.

Valodor stepped out of the store while Maka looked how Valodor left. He kept thinking about the past but he knows he can always judge a person from his past or his rumours.

Blaster: that was so awesome Roy, I cant wait how the next rounds will be.

Roy: same here, you made it to the top 4 right?

Blaster: yep, I made a strong deck to rush trough it. So either way we will be in the same team no matter what, also Maka made it too so the trio will become the team of Card Capital cardshop!

Roy: good luck Blaster

Blaster: you too, Roy

We both friendly handshake but suddenly TSS made a sudden announcement.

TSS: alright for the next round it's already scheduled who goes against who! First off is! Blaster versus Roy-kun!

Blaster/Roy: WHAT!

We both looked at each other and then to the list, both saw our names near each other and then we soon realised who will win this round has a chance to become the team leader.

Who will it be? Maka, Blaster or Roy. Or perhaps it could be the secret 4th participator. Find out next time. On cardfight vanguard next generation.
