Chapter 36- Card Shark 1
Author's Note: It's Rôade's turn to fight now! XD

Rôade giggled as Krory and Komui faced her, and she calmly started to shuffle the deck of cards in her hand.

Krory quickly ran toward her, and he swiftly swung his fist at her, but it was suddenly blocked by a large red diamond shape while Rôade held up the Ace of Diamonds.

Rôade giggled again as Krory jumped away, and he narrowed his eyes at Rôade.

"Duck!" Komui suddenly shouted, and Krory froze as he quickly fell to the ground to avoid a sudden punch from the robot behind Komui.

Rôade perked up as the fist swung at her, but she calmly held up the three of diamonds, and the fist collided against three diamonds.

Krory slowly looked up to see the large robot looking down at them.

"Komui-san… That's…!?"

"Komurin Karasurin IV!" Komui shouted happily as Karasurin raised its fists again, and the fists suddenly snapped back to reveal two large holes.

"Karasurin Beam!" Komui cried out, and two large beams suddenly shot out at Rôade from the holes.

"Cool." She muttered before holding up the three of spades, and a large black hole appear in front of her, and the beams suddenly disappeared as they entered the hole.

Krory and Komui flinched as the black hole shrunk down to nothing, and Rôade giggled again.

"That was cool! Do you have anything else?" She asked happily, and Komui grinned evilly as Karasurin's arms started to move backwards, and the robot transformed into a large gun.

"Ultra Karasurin Destruction Beam!" Komui cried out, and a giant beam shot out at Rôade, and she smiled as it headed toward her. Rôade held up three cards, but the beam collided into where she was standing.

Krory watched in amazement as Karasurin turned back into its fighting mode, and he then looked back at Komui.

"I thought it was destroyed…"

"Nope! I simply put it to cube mode, and then repaired it in India." Komui stated happily as he climbed into Karasurin, and he then grinned evilly.

"Impressive." A voice said, and Krory and Komui watched as the floor started to rise up, and Rôade appeared from the floor.

"What!?"

"You forgot that I'm the Noah of Reality. You can't defeat me that easily." Rôade stated happily, and she smiled as the two narrowed their eyes at her.

From behind Rôade a large figure appeared, and she pointed at Karasurin.

"Five-Point Diamond Knight." Rôade said as the large red knight slowly walked toward Karasurin, and Komui quickly sent its fist at the knight.

"Useless." Rôade said as Karasurin's fist hit against the knight's shield made out of diamonds, and she flicked her wrist calmly to make the knight raised the sword in its other hand.

The knight swung down at Karasurin, and the blade collided against Karasurin's arm as the two engaged in close-range combat.

"Wow…" Krory muttered as he watched the two giants fight, and he glanced over to see Rôade calmly looking through her bag, and he then looked around at the black dome overhead.

"I wonder how we get out of this…"

"You need to beat me."

Krory looked over at Rôade as she closed her bag, and she smiled while straightening up.

"Then I will do just that!" Krory said as he ran at Rôade, but failed to hit her as she calmly moved to the side to dodge his fist, and she giggled again as she flipped back as the floor rose up again, and another large knight appeared that was entirely black.

"Five-Point Spade Knight." Rôade said as the large knight raised his sword, and swung down at Krory.

Krory quickly jumped away as the knight readied its next attack, and Rôade calmly jumped off to watch the two fight the knights.

Rôade held up the deck of cards, and she calmly looked through it as the two continued to fight.

"Karasurin Beam!" Komui shouted as Krory jumped into the air, and the beam blasted through the knight's head as Krory quickly dived down and slashed the knight's head in half.

The two knights crumbled to the floor in pieces, and the two looked over at where Rôade was calmly sitting.

"Very nicely done." Rôade said as she looked up from her deck to see Krory swung his fist down at her.

She calmly leaned back to dodge the fist, and she then curled up into a ball, and rolled backwards before straightening up again to face the two and Karasurin.

Rôade smiled as she held the deck up, and the cards slowly started to slip down onto the floor, but they never touched it as they started to float in mid-air.

The deck formed four large circles around the three, and the circles started to rotate around them.

"Grand Arcadia." Rôade said as the deck was done falling, and it now circled around them all.

"Grand… Arcadia?" Komui asked as he got out of Karasurin to look at the rotating circles of cards.

"It's quite simply a game." Rôade said, and the two looked over at her as she smiled while pointing at the ceiling.

"You just go grab a random card. The higher the value of the card, the better you'll be. The person with the highest value card is the one who is allowed to attack."

"And why would we listen to your rules!? Karasurin Beam!" Komui shouted, and Karasurin fired a large beam at Rôade, but she simply smiled as it suddenly blow apart.

Komui and Krory's eyes widened as Rôade giggled happily.

"You need to follow my rules, or else you die quicker." She said plainly, and the two narrowed their eyes at her.

"Now then. The person with the highest valued card however, must attack the one with the lowest value. If a tie happens, then the one with the highest value has to hit themselves. You must win three out of five games in order to win." Rôade stated happily, and Komui nodded as he understood.

He walked over to the rotating circles, and he then quickly grabbed one of the cards from the circle.

Krory did the same on the other side, and so did Rôade as well as Karasurin.

"Karasurin is playing too?"

"Sure, why not?" Rôade asked, and Krory could think of a few, but gave up trying.

"Heh, Nine of Clubs." Komui said as he held the card up.

"T-Three of Hearts…" Krory said as his terrible luck kicked in with playing cards.

"JACK OF SPADES." Karasurin said through its speaker, and Rôade giggled happily.

"Ace of Hearts." She said as she held up the card, and she then pointed to Krory who froze.

Rôade suddenly appeared at eye level with Krory, and she lightly tapped his shoulder before walking back.

Komui stared at Rôade in confusion, but froze as Krory cried out in shock.

Komui quickly looked back, and froze at the sight.

Krory's right arm was gone.

Rôade happily giggled again as she smirked at them with the row of crosses gleaming on her forehead.

"Did I mention that whoever gets hit loses a limb?"

DUN DUN DUN! XO XD Rôade sure is scary...

Let's keep this fight going! Komui and Krory must win three out of five games, but what could the other four games have in store for the two...
