Shine Holy Roar:
Max has scored a great victory over the Transcendence Dragon, and thanks to that his team is one point ahead, now the question is, can Megan do the same?
"Max is so strong, it's almost scary." Greg stated.
"Did you expect anything less?" Tom asked.
"No, anyway its my turn." Megan said as she got up from her seat.
Max returned to the dugout, and now Megan is walking up to the battlefield. She grabbed her Seeker deck, when her Psyqualia triggered.
"What the?" She thought as she heard a voice coming from one of her other decks.

"It seems the Jewel Knights want to be used again." Tom said as he looked at Megan's hand reaching for the Jewel Knight deck.
"How can you tell?" Kyle asked.
"The way she touched her deck." Tom answered.
That's enough of the side commentary I think.
"Jewel Knights, do you want to be played that badly, I know I updated this deck, but I just don't think I can use you the way I used to." Megan thought.
"It's Megan Sendou vs Jack Nightgale." Doctor O commented.
Megan and Jack reached the motion figure system.
"I've seen your game against Team Napoleon, and as a royal paladin player myself, I want to see how strong you really are." Jack stated.
"Maybe it's time I do use you again." Megan thought as she grabbed her Jewel Knight deck.
"I'm not going to hold back." Megan said as she placed her starting vanguard down.
"Neither will I." Jack copied the motion.
"Begin the match." The referee stated.
"Stand up, vanguard!" Both fighters exclaimed.
The system erupted to create a beautiful plateau covered in flora and fauna. The sky is as clear as crystal, as you can see the moons of Cray overhead.
"Starting Legend Ambrosius (4000)!" Jack revealed.
Jack transformed into a purple haired man in silver armor, Jack's brown hair and blue eyes over took his unit's.
"Desire Jewel Knight Heloise (5000)." Megan revealed.
Megan became a small girl in dark blue armor. This girl's blond hair became blue, and her eyes took on a darker shade as Megan took over the form.
"A Royal Paladin mirror match, as expected, this should be good." Jack stated.
"Draw, and ride Prizmy (7000), Heloise moves." Megan informed.
Megan's vanguard transformed into a silver cheetah in silver armor, the blond girl appeared behind her.
"I call Salbamy (7000)!" Megan called out.
A tiger in white armor appeared on the battlefield. It holds a sword in its mouth.
"I end my turn." Megan informed.

"Draw, and I ride Little Sage Marron (8000), Ambrosius moves." Jack informed.
Jack's vanguard evolved into a boy in a librarian out fit who holds a red book in his hand, the silver armored knight moved out of the way.
"Marron attacks (8000)!" Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Megan informed.
"Drive check (High Dog Breeder Akane - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
Marron opened his book, then pointed his fingers at Prizmy, and fired a jolt of lightning, which struck the cat, and caused her to scream.
"Damage check (Dogmatize Jewel Knight Sybill - no trigger)." Megan revealed.
"I end my turn." Jack informed.

"Draw, and I ride Dogmatize Jewel Knight Sybill (8000)!" Megan declared.
Megan's vanguard evolved into a silver haired woman with emerald eyes, she holds a silver book that glows green, and she wears a silver dress.
"I call Tracie (9000)!" Megan added.
a brown haired woman with ruby red armor appeared next to the silver haired woman.
"With support from Salbamy, Tracie attacks Marron (16000)!" Megan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack decided
Tracie ran towards Marron, and slashed him.
"Damage check (Flash Shield Iseult - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
"With support from Heloise, Sybill attacks (13000)!" Megan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack decided.
"Drive check (Jewel Knight Noble Stinger - critical trigger) all effects to my vanguard (18000, 2 critical)!" Megan revealed.
Sybill opened up her book, then generated green lighting, which shocked Marron all over his body.
"Damage check (King of Knights Alfred - no trigger), second check (Margal - draw trigger) power to my vanguard (13000), and I draw." Jack revealed.
"I end my turn." Megan decided.

"Stand and draw." Jack declared.
"What is he up to, he doesn't seem to be that strong." Megan thought.
"Ride Battle Flag Knight Constance (9000)!" Jack declared.
Jack's vanguard became a blond haired knight in silver armor, and he carries the United Sanctuary's flag with him.
"High Dog Breeder Akane to rearguard (8000)!" Jack declared.
A red haired cowgirl appeared in front of Ambrosius.
"I activate Akane's counterblast, and superior call Pongul (7000)." Jack informed.
A blue armored dog with a white mane appeared on the battlefield.
"Pongul's counterblast sends him to the soul, and I add Soul Saver Dragon to my hand." Jack informed again.
"Oh great." Megan thought.
"With support from Ambrosius, Akane attacks Sybill (12000)!" Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Megan informed.
Akane raised her whip, then cracked it at the silver dressed woman. Red marks can be seen all over the skin.
"Damage check (Dogmatize Jewel Knight Sybill - no trigger)." Megan revealed.
"Let's go Constance (9000)!" Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Megan decided.
"Drive check (Yggdrasil Maiden Elaine - heal trigger) just what I needed, I recover 1 damage, and give the power to my vanguard (14000)!" Jack revealed.
Constance raised his flag as a staff, and slashed Sybill with it.
"Damage check (Jewel Knight Sacred Unicorn - draw trigger) the power to my vanguard (13000), and I draw." Megan revealed.
"I end my turn." Jack informed.

"Stand and draw." Megan declared.
"I wonder what changes she made to this deck, so far it seems similar to that seeker deck she used." Jack thought.
"If light is the path I walk, let it be filled with nothing but happiness, I ride! Pure Heart Jewel Knight Ashlie (11000)!" Megan declared.
Megan's vanguard evolved into the Knight of the Pearl. Her dress is pure white, and her shield is gold. Her hair is blond, turned blue with Megan's features appearing on her, and she holds a lightsaber in her other hand.
"Jewel Knight Swordmy (9000), to rearguard." Megan declared.
A white leopard in silver and blue armor appeared on the battlefield.
"Especial counterblast, I superior call Shellie (7000)!" Megan decided.
"Swordmy, then that means...so you did replace Salome." Greg thought.
"With support from Heloise, Ashlie attacks, and her skill adds 2000 power, Heloise adds 3000 more (21000)!" Megan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack decided.
"Twin drive (Jewel Knight Noble Stinger - critical trigger) the critical stays with me (2 critical), and as for the power, Tracie will get it (14000), and the second check (Flashing Jewel Knight Iseult - no trigger)." Megan revealed.
Ashlie charged the battlefield, sword high in the air, then struck Constance in the chest.
"Damage check (Margal - draw trigger) the power to my vanguard (14000), and I draw, second check (High Dog Breeder Akane - no trigger)." Jack revealed.
"With support from Salbamy, Tracie attacks, and her skill adds 3000 power (24000)!" Megan declared.
"Elaine and Pongul will guard that (total defense 29000)!" Jack countered.
Tracie raised her staff, then thrust it in front of her, but a fairy, and blue dog blocked the assault.
"With support from Tracie, Swordmy attacks Akane (16000)!" Megan declared.
"No guard." Jack decided.
The leopard pounced on the red haired cowgirl, and she faded from existence.
"I end my turn." Megan informed.

"I stand and draw." Jack declared.
"I have no idea what his strategy is, he has 1 rearguard, and he has a lot of cards in his hand." Megan thought.
"Precious gem from above, give your love and light to this fight, I ride Pure Heart Jewel Knight Ashlie (11000)!" Jack declared.
Jack's vanguard evolved into an identical copy of Megan's vanguard.
"I activate Abrosius' skill, I discard one card, and send him to the soul, then I draw 1." Jack informed.
"Why do something like that?" Megan asked.
"Knight of Truth Gordon (8000), Battle Flag Knight Constance (9000), and 2 copies of Little Sage Marron (8000) to rearguard!" Jack decided.
A man with white hair, wearing medieval armor, and carries a lance, a blond haired man hold the United Sanctuary flag, and two blond haired boys in librarian outfits appeared on the battlefield.
"Why leave Gordon without a rearguard unit?" Megan asked.
"Watch, Ashlie attacks Swordmy without support (11000)!" Jack declared.
"What!? I don't guard." Megan said with shock in her voice.
"Twin drive (Flash Shield Iseult - no trigger), second check (Bringer of Good Luck Epona - critical trigger) all effects to Constance (14000, 2 critical)!" Jack revealed.
The enemy Ashlie struck the leopard, turning him into light.
"Why attack my rearguard!?" Megan asked.
"This is why, Marron boosts, Constance attacks your vanguard (22000)!" Jack declared.
"I don't guard." Megan decided.
The flag bearing knight, struck Megan's blue haired Ashlie through the stomach.
"Damage check (Pure Heart Jewel Knight Ashlie - no trigger), second check (Jewel Knight Hilmy - heal trigger) power to my vanguard (16000), and I recover 1." Megan revealed.
"When Constance hits my opponent's vanguard, I can activate his counterblast, and search my deck for Sage of Guidance Zenon (6000), and call him!" Jackcalled out.
A powerful sage in a librarian out appeared behind Gordon.
"With Zenon out on the battlefield, this fight could be over folks!" Doctor O stated.
"Zenon, why did it have to be him?" Megan thought.
"I never seen that card, what does it do?" Greg asked.
"Since it has been called on to the field, Jack can check the top card of his deck for a Royal Paladin that's the same grade as his vanguard...he probably figured he'd fail to pull off this combo, so he has a Soul Saver in his hand just in case." Tom explained.
"I see, and with his huge hand, he can survive Megan's next wave of attacks." Max added.
"I check the top card of the deck, and if the Royal Paladin I reveal is the same grade as my vanguard, I can ride it, and the lucky winner is...Yes!" Jack revealed.
Top card: Soul Saver Dragon - no trigger
"Pure noble dragon, grace the battlefield with your gentle light! Superior Break Ride! Soul Saver Dragon (10000)!" Jack exclaimed.
The limit break seal exploded all over the area, and Jack's Ashlie swung her sword as if she was dancing with it. The image in the sword was in fact Soul Saver Dragon, and when she finished the dance, this blue dragon with white wings, head, hands, and feet appeared in place of Ashlie.
"Get ready, I have 2 attacks left, the break ride skill adds 10000 power and 1 critical to my vanguard (20000, 2 critical), and now...Holy Charging Roar!" Jack exclaimed.
This graceful dragon roared as 5 shooting stars surrounded it, then the lights went all over the field.
"Holy Charging Roar adds 5000 to Marron (13000), 5000 to Gordon (13000), and 5000 to Zenon too (11000)!" Jack explained.
"This is bad. As if the 15000 boost to the center lane wasn't bad enough, Soul Saver gets 3000 when it attacks a vanguard." Megan thought.
"With support from Marron, Soul Saver attacks, go Lightning Judgement (36000)!" Jack declared.
"I have 4 damage, I'll lose if that hits, no choice than." Megan thought.
"Are you going to guard?" Jack asked.
"Flashing Jewel Knight Iseult will guard that (perfect guard)!" Megan countered.
"With that, she has 4 cards in both her hand, and drop zone." Tom thought.
"Twin drive (Sage of Guidance Zenon - no trigger), second check (Margal - draw trigger) the power to Gordon (18000), and I draw." Jack revealed.
Soul Saver raised his hand to his chest, then fired a bolt of lightning in the shape of an orb at Ashlie, but Iseult in jeweled armor created a shield to block the attempt.
"With support from Zenon, Gordon attacks (29000)!" Jack declared.
The lance wielding knight struck Ashlie in the chest.
"Damage check (Stinging Jewel Knight Shellie - no trigger)." Megan revealed.
"I end my turn." Jack informed.

"I stand and draw." Megan informed.
"This is it, if she can't break through his defense, the match will rest with me." Greg thought.
"Don't think like that Greg, Megan still has that ace up her sleeve." Tom informed.
Megan stared at the card she drew, looking at it carefully.
"This unit gets 7000 power and 1 critical when it's in legion, and declares an attack. Legion makes it's base 20000, break ride adds 10000 and 1 critical, Heloise's boost and skill adds 8000...this attack will be for 45000, but he has Iseult, Epona, Margal, Soul Saver Dragon, and Zenon in his hand...a perfect guard, 15000 in shields, and 3 cards I don't know about, along with 15000 he can intercept with...I better hope for triggers, and as well for those cards being unable to defend him." Megan thought.
"I know you're stumped in the decision to ride or not, but I hope its sometime today." Jack stated.
"Right, noble Knight of the sapphire crystal, break through the limits that seal you, and bring hole to this battlefield, break ride! Prevail Jewel Knight Yvain (11000)!" Megan declared.
Megan'd vanguard performed her own sword dance, and from the sword, a brown haired knight in silver-white armor appeared on the battlefield. His armor has wings, and he carries a long sword.
"He has 30000+perfect defense, and 3 cards I don't know about, I better make these attacks count." Megan thought.
"She's being careful about how much power she throws out, smart." Jack thought.
"Limits can't be broken alone, find a friend that can guide you on your path! Seek Mate!" Megan exclaimed.
Iseult, Swordmy, Sybill, and the card Megan discarded for Iseult's skill flew back into Megan's deck, then a copy of Swordmy flew into Megan's hand.
"The bond of friendship grows stronger with each trial, share those feelings now, Legion!" Megan exclaimed.
The white snow leopard appeared next to this silver armored knight.
"I call Tracie (9000)!" Megan decided.
"I have 3 chances to break through his defense, and deal 2 damage, I hope I have enough power." Megan thought.
"Her vanguard can be taken out with the perfect guard, I'll let one Tracie through, and guard the other." Jack thought.
"Tracie attacks Constance without support (12000)!" Megan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack decided.
Tracie raised her staff, then struck Constance in the chest, forcing him to disappear.
"Heloise boosts, go Legion attack! Heloise adds 3000 with her skill, when Yvain attacks a vanguard, he gets 2000 power, and when he attacks, if I have 6 or more Jewel Knights, he gets 5000 power, and plus 1 critical (45000, 3 critical)!" Megan declared.
"Flash Shield Iseult will guard that, and I discard Soul Saver Dragon to pay the cost." Jack countered.
"Twin drive (Blazing Jewel Knight Rachelle - critical trigger) all effects to the Tracie in front of Shellie (14000, 2 critical), and second check (Jewel Knight Opt Harpist - stand trigger) I give all effects to the rested Tracie (14000)." Megan revealed.
The silver armored knight, and Snow Leopard attacked the dragon, but Iseult in her past form created a barrier to stop them.
"2 chances left, Salbamy boosts, Tracie attacks, and she gets 3000 with her skill (24000)!" Megan declared.
"I don't guard." Jack informed.
The knight of the ruby slashed the blue dragon in the stomach with her spear.
"Damage check (Knight of Truth Gordon - no trigger)!" Jack revealed.
With support from Shellie, Tracie attacks, and she gets 3000 with her skill (24000)!" Megan declared.
"Margal will guard, and Gordon especial intercepts (25000)!" Jack countered.
The second version raised her spear, but when she saw the defenders, she quickly lowered it.
"I end my turn." Megan informed.

"Stand and draw." Jack informed.
"I barely broke through his defenses...am I really that weak?" Megan thought.
"I have Epona, Zenon, and 4 cards she doesn't know about...if I keep calling units, I won't be able to keep myself safe...so Soul Saver by himself has to be enough for now." Jack thought.
"Wait...when Tom and Mike used their special combos, they both survived, and Tom was still able to win...I need to keep myself alive, and wait for an opening." Megan thought.
"With support from Marron, Soul Saver attacks (21000)!" Jack declared.
"Opt Harpist and Rachelle will guard that (31000)!" Megan countered.
"Twin drive (Soul Saver Dragon - no trigger), second check (Yggdrasil Maiden Elaine - heal trigger) power to my vanguard (26000), and I recover 1." Jack revealed.
The blue dragon raised it hand to throw the ball of lightning, but two defenders blocked the attack.
"I end my turn." Jack informed.

"Stand and draw!" Megan declared.
"I have 8 cards in my hand, all of this defensive power should give me the edge." Jack thought.
"With support from Heloise, legion attack (35000)!" Megan declared.
"Wait, if i guard this, then I won't be able to defend the next 2 attacks... I-i don't guard." Jack decided.
Yvain and Swordmy raised their blades, then struck Soul Saver Dragon. This dragon started to disintegrate as 2 cards flew from Jack's deck to the damage zone.
"Winner, Megan Sendou!" The referee called out as the units and battlefield disappeared.
"What an impressive win, this propels Samurai Dragon further in the tournament." Doctor O stated.
Megan returned to her dugout with a big smile on her face.
"Tiffany would be better for your deck than Heloise, your rearguards needed the extra power." Tom commented.
"Tom, thats a little mean to say right now!" Max hissed.
"No, he's right...I was concentrating on my vanguard to much in that battle, but Tiffany should be good for this deck then." Megan stated calmly.
"Great, now we need to concentrate on making our decks stronger." Greg suggested.
"Glad you mentioned that." Kyle said suddenly
Kyle told the team to follow him to his room, so they can start making their decks stronger.
Tom: I'm going to check ou the other fights.
Max: hope you get to see some close fights
Mat: I won't let Alan fight if he has to use that power
Megan: next time Golden Blaze
Alan: so this is the real power of a national champion
