Cardfight! Vanguard! Goals!

Chapter 21 – FIGHT! Great Infestation

Caroline places her deck down on a cardfight table, the table lights up. John plugs his card into the table and slams his deck on the table with it lighting up on both sides. "Stand Up, Vanguard!" Caroline shouts out.

"Let the infestation begin!" John calls out. John in his school uniform and Caroline in her casual clothing, they flip over their starting vanguards and call the names of them.

"Regretful Fairy!" [Grade 0, 5000 Power, 10000 Shield]

"Megacolony Battler C!" [Grade 0, 5000 Power, 10000 Shield]

"Megacolony, I've already faced them before against Susannah. She told me that I would have to think thoroughly about my movements when facing this clan. Let's put what I've learned into practice." Caroline stares intently at the battlefield to make observations.

"He's already using his abilities, he's not wasting any time… Susannah tried to get to Limit Break before using her abilities."

"Go, Armour Beetle decimate the dark angel! [Machining Armour Beetle (9000 Power) → Demon Angel, Void (6000 Power)]"

[Hell Spider (10000 + 3000 = 13000 Power) → Shielding Witch (8000 Power)] John flips the top card of his deck, Megacolony Battler B [No Trigger], Raider Mantis [Draw Trigger].

Eve is watching from the sidelines seeing John already pushed to the limit while Caroline is at only two damage. "Caroline sure is strong… I can't even get to four damage with John, but John isn't even flinching."

"I stand and draw, I call Demon Angel, Void [Grade 1, 6000 Power, 5000 Shield], Black Mane Stallion and Void's Angel, Perdita! [Grade 3, 10000 Power] I'll start things off with Black Mane Stallion boosting Lack of Will, Almana."

I send Raider Mantis to the soul and stun Perdita. I call Phantom Black to the rear-guard, [Grade 1, 8000 Power, 5000 Shield]. LIMIT BREAK!"

"Damn it… if Machining Stinger hits one of my units, he can stun a unit and Battler B can stun if it boosts a successful attack on a vanguard. I have to guard it… I don't have a choice."

Damage Check: Demonic Warrior [No Trigger]

The same man from the building smirks again "So she just got a taste of our student's strength. Not only did he win while being at a disadvantage in clan, he also won while being disadvantaged the whole game. His opponent had early triggers and critical especially negating." He wraps his fingers around each other looking closely at the camera focused on their future new student.

"So, we're going to get her to go through our training for Cardfighting?"

Caroline looks at John and acknowledges his strength. John looks away "Guess there is no one here to fight… Well I'll be leaving." John waves his hand and he leaves the store.

"WAIT! Where are you going?! We just arrived here!" Eve shouts out loudly.

"Well, I've been here for long enough and there's nobody worth fighting. So I might as well just go back and find someone to fight there, I have nothing to do." Walking out the sliding door, he stares at the sky. "Is no one worth fighting outside anymore?"

Caroline looks at Eve "He's strong… extremely strong… Is this really what happens after we've gone through the school?"

"Well, he's been fighting for ages now. He's actually one of the top students of the whole school, as such he's in the highest year for vanguard class. I have no idea what's going on there though. Well on another topic, are you a full-boarder or a semi-boarder?"

"Huh?" Caroline looks at Eve confused and then comes to her senses realizing the question "I'm going to be a semi-boarder… my parents want to see me as much as possible, but I want to make as many friends as possible as well."

"Well you wouldn't have made friends with your attitude back then. You lacked communication with the rest of the school, there's no way someone can make friends that way."

"Well it seemed to have worked this time." Caroline smiles trying to be a bit more energetic, though still using her soft tone of voice that makes a few of her words almost silent.

"Yeah, sure" Eve smacks Caroline on the back as Caroline falls over and only just managing to land on her knees. "Then we'll start tomorrow, let's have some fun."
