*Sigh* Sorry for the late upload. Took me forever to figure out what deck for Ayame to use and personal stuff came up, and well, I couldn't upload.
"Follower of Amon, Fate Collector (5000)."
"Sand Deity, Spirit of Bastet (6000)."
A spiritual bobcat materialized in front of the Follower of Amon. Akira and the other club members, excluding Daisuke, growled. "Of course she would use that..." Daisuke heard Kimiko say, and put some pieces together. This must be the deck Hikaru used, or at least the sub-clan... He turned back around. "I'm going first. Riding Poet of Darkness, Amon (6000). Moving Fate back, I call two Hell's Deals (7000). Using their skills to soul charge four, and I end." Ayame smirked. "Draw, and ride Sand Deity, Follower of Bastet (7000)." A woman wearing brown robes and holding a Sistrum, staring down the demon with yellow eyes. "Using her skill, I take 1000 power from each of your grade 1 units." Daisuke growled, but Ayame put up her hand. "Don't worry, the power is only for the turn, and now for the second part of the skill. Giving up 1000 power to soul charge." She did this until Follower of Bastet was back down to 7000.
"Calling Follower of Anubis (7000) and Soldier of Horus (8000). Attacking with Horus!" "I don't guard." The Kopesh slashed through the skin of the demon. "Now, Bastet!" The Follower played a tune on the Sistrum, and a stream of desert sand flew towards the demon. "I don't guard." Ayame smirked. "Alright then, drive check. Nothing. No matter, Anubis attacks!" The black cloaked man rushed in with his funeral knife. "Guard with Phu Geenlin (5000)." Ayame narrowed her eyes. "End my turn."

"Draw, and ride Demon of Aspiration, Amon (8000)! Moving both Heall' Deals back and calling Hell's Draw (9000)! Using her skill to soul charge two, and Amon's skill gives him an extra 3000. Calling Follower of Amon, Psycho Grave (9000). His skill, I soul charge one and he gains 5000 power. Attacking with Hell's Draw boosted by Deal!" "I don't guard." The cards flew over and exploded. "Attacking with Amon!" The demon (16000) spewed a stream of darkness. "Guard with Spirit of Bastet (10000)!" "Drive check. Got it. Heal trigger. Power to Amon, and recovering one." The stream went straight through the spirit and hit the priestess. "Damage check. No trigger." "Using Fate Collector's skill. Moving him to the soul and drawing one. Attacking with Psycho Grave boosted by Deal!" The last demon (21000) rushed forward. "I don't guard." No trigger on the hit. Daisuke smirked. "I end my turn." Ryo got up, and fist pumped the air. "Alright! He's shifted the tables!" Kimiko looked as if she was lost in thought. "No, I think she wanted that to happen..."

"Stand and draw. I ride Prophetess of Bastet (9000)!" Another woman, this time with nicer colored brown robes and her Sistrum's handle was elongated like a staff, stood up. "Using he skill, taking 1000 power from each front row unit. Then, soul charging for each 1000 taken." Three more cards found their way into the soul. "Calling another Follower of Anubis (7000) and Prophet of Osiris (9000)! Using Osiris's skill, I soul charge, then discard the top card of my deck. Follower of Anubis's skill. I move the other Follower of Anubis into the soul and call one unit from the drop. Calling Sand Deity of the Sky, Horus (11000)! Using Follower's skill from the soul and superior call a unit from the top of the deck. I superior call Sand Deity, Exiled Follower of Set (6000)!" A spirit version of a Set Animal...don't ask, I can't describe it, came to the field. (All credit for the Sand Deity cards go to Egyptian mythology. Forgot to mention that when Hikaru used it.) "His skill moves a unit from my field to the soul. Moving Prophet of Anubis to the soul. Anubis' skill adds 2000 power to my vanguard, so I'm using Bastet's skill two more times. Attacking with Osiris boosted by Set!" The prophet (15000) raised his staff, on it was crook, and a black light shot out. "I don't guard. Damage check. Yes! Draw trigger. Power to Amon and draw one." "Attacking with Prophetess of Bastet boosted by Follower of Anubis!" "I don't guard."
Ayame growled. "Drive check. Critical trigger. All effects to Horus, and he attacks!" The Sky god (18000) charged in. "No guard. Damage check. No trigger." Ayame smirked. "I end."

"Stand and draw." Ayame smirked again. There's little to no chance that he just drew a grade three, considering that there are only two that use the Amon sub-clan. She looked down at her hand. All I have to do is use this perfect guard and this game is mine. "I ride Stil Vampir (10000)!" Those were the last words she thought her opponent would say. "What?! You actually drew a grade three?!" Daisuke smirked. "Of course. I may be new to the team, but I am not going to let them down. Calling two more Psycho Graves, and their skills add two more cards to the soul and 5000 power each! Calling Hell's Deal behind Vampir." Akira stood up, in awe. "I though this deck was Amon..." Kimiko smirked. "Is there a rule saying you can only have those cards with a sub-clan deck?" Akira grinned and shook his head. "Stil Vampir's skill!" Eight cards flew out from the soul and all five damage flipped over. "Your vanguard is now your Spirit of Set!" Ayame looked in horror as she couldn't use her perfect guard anymore. "Attacking with Paycho Grave!" She scowled at him. "No guard." No trigger. "My vanguard!" Stil Vampir (17000) darted forward. "Guarding with Spirit of Horus!"
Daisuke growled. "Twin drive. First check. Nothing. Second check. Yeah! Draw trigger! Power to my vanguard and drawing one." "Damage check. No trigger." "Attacking with my last Pyscho Grave!" "...I don't guard." The Myaji Club looked in awe as the damage fell into the zone. One side erupted into cheer. The Fukahara team snickered as they saw. A heal trigger fall into Ayame's zone. "Heal trigger. Power to Bastet and recovering one." Daiuske's jaw dropped. "Are you serious..." He sighed. "I end my turn." Bastet went back to being Ayame's vanguard.

"Stand and draw. So much for not letting your team down. Riding Sand Deity of Evil, Set (10000)!" A tall man, about 6-7 feet tall, with blood red hair and matching eyes, and red robes, and a black Was scepter, rose from a void of black. "Using his soul blast, I retire your rear guards. All of them." Red light surrounded the units, and they disappeared. Five cards from the soul went to the drop for the cost. "Now, I use Set's limit break! Moving the six cards to the drop, and giving Set 6000 power and plus one critical. Counterblasting five, and your vanguard drops 3000 power. Attacking with Horus!" Daisuke sighed. Even if I try to block all of these attacks, it won't work... "I don't guard." The Kopesh wielding god slashed at the unholy vampire. "Damage check." Daisuke reached out, his hand shaking.
No trigger was found. "There we have it! The winner of the first round is... Ayame Ishikawa!" The crowd erupted into cheers, and Daisuke we lacked back, his head down. "Sorry guys, I gave it my all." Akira grinned. "And that's all you can do. We're all here. To give this our all. We've still got four more matches to win." Daisuke looks at him, and smirked. "Yeah, you're right." Daisuke sat down on the bench, and Mai scooted over to him. "Hey, I was in the same boat, but we got through it, so don't worry. We're a team, not just five random people." Daisuke looked at her, confused. "What're you talking about? It's just one game." They looked at each other in awkward silence for over a minute before the MC spoke up again. "Okay! Will the next two fighter please step forward!" Ryo grinned and stood up, and the green haired boy did the same. "The next match is...Ryo Yoshioka versus Hibiki Hayakawa!"
Hibiki smirked, then frowned. "I have to fight you? You're not going to be a challenge at all." He pouted, but cringed when he heard a voice yell from behind him. "Remember what we talked about underestimating your opponents, Hibiki?" Kaito scolded, a scowl on his face. His teammate hung his head before perking up again. "I still won't retract my statement. This fight will be over before you can get a grade 3." Ryo smirked. "We'll see about that."
"Stand up, my Vanguard!"
"Stand up, Vanguard!"
"Dimensional Scrapyard, Gearhead (6000)!"
"Judgebau Revenger (5000)!"
Akira looked at the card, and immediately felt sorry for Ryo. Shadow Paladins. And on top of that, Revengers. You're in for a rough time, Ryo...
Ryo went first. "Riding Scrapyard Robo, Junker Claw (7000)! Moving Gearhead back and I end." Hibiki smirked. "Draw, and ride Revenger, Dark Bond Trumpeter. Superior calling Spinbau Revenger (6000) and moving Judgebau. Calling Transient Revenger, Masquerade (7000), and I attack with him, boosted by Judgebau. When Masquerade attacks, if I have a Shadow Paladin vanguard, he gains 3000 power! "No guard." No trigger was found. "Attacking with Dark Bond!" "I guard with Scrapyard Salvager (10000)!" "Drive check. No trigger." The malevolent song from the trumpet was stopped by the sound of screeching metal.

Over in the stands, Asaka looked over at Ren, and held back a laugh. He looked like a five year old boy during his birthday. "Like seeing your clan in action?" Ren smiled and nodded. "I wish Akira would've used Shadow Paladins..." He pouted, and Asaka frowned. "But we never gave him the choice." Ren laughed. "Oh yeah. Forgot. In any case, Akira's friend is done if that fighter knows what he's doing with the Revengers, and it looks like he does." Ren smiled and Asaka gave him a glare. Aichi nodded in agreement. "Shadow Paladins are a dangerous clan, and this player is really good at playing them." Asaka, clearly having enough, stood up. "Hey! Are we rooting for the other team here?! Or Akira and Kimiko?!" The others stopped talking.
She sat back down, looking triumphant. "Thank you. Isn't it just better when we cooperate like this?"
