A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and will continue reading. I love the part where Taishi tells Kai about what Aichi says at the end of this episode, it's funny to me for some reason. He acts the same way when Taishi tells him that Aichi said he was glad he didn't collapse and the fight felt uneasy.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Double Dragon

Aichi's POV

I heard Shin say that this is the Final Match of the Final Round something everyone's been waiting for before I heard him say that the one representing Team Q4 is Aichi Sendou, or me. There was an uproar of people chattering and about two saying my name before Shin said that the representative of the team looking to ruin Team Q4's chances is Supreme Chancellor Miwa.

Shin said that even though it's Taishi's first time in a Tournament he's led his team to the Final Match so even a 'skilled' group like Team Q4 can't afford to let their guard down. "You sound like Morikawa and not just with the words Supreme Chancellor Miwa" I said with a slight smile before I saw he looked perturbed by the statement.

I felt my PSY Qualia kick in and I saw the two Soul Saver Dragons like I had last night before I drew my cards. I heard Taishi ask if I was ready before I nodded hearing him say I have to say it with him before we said 'stand up my Vanguard' as I stood up Barcgal.

I drew a card after I saw that Taishi's Unit was the same as Kai's but I know that he doesn't play the same as Kai. I looked at my hand riding Little Sage, Marron before I moved Barcgal to the back left Rearguard searching my deck for Flogal who I placed behind Marron ending my turn.

Taishi said he rides Embodiment of Armor, Barr before he placed Dragon Dancer, Monica in the front left Rearguard and Flame Seed Salamander behind her. Monica was supported by Flame Seed for an attack against Marron which I didn't guard.

I checked for a Damage Trigger not getting one before I looked up looking straight back at my Units when I saw the scary color Taishi had on his face. "Guessing you're going to have Flame Seed destroy Barcgal?" I asked before he asked how I knew that.

"That's what most people do when they have Unit with the ability to destroy a Unit on the battle field that's troublesome, calling allies I'm guessing is quite troublesome" I said before he nodded saying that's what he's going to do. Taishi said that with him gone he can attack with his Vanguard before he did so attacking but I was being stupid when I imagined the attack.

I felt a cut open along my waist which wasn't good before I felt it close up but as usual it's still painful. I bit my tongue to keep from making a sound when that happened before I checked for a Heal Trigger getting a Critical Trigger instead.

I sighed at the three especially when Taishi said that I wasn't prepared to fight with someone at his level. "That's why I asked you how I could win against you because from what I heard I do win against you in this match" I told him seeing a confused color on his face.

I rode my Avatar Blaster Blade before I heard Taishi say 'it's getting scary' making me roll my eyes at him for being sarcastic, he's acting a lot like Kai normally does on the outside and it doesn't fit either of them. I called Gallatin to the front left Rearguard, Pongal to the front right Rearguard, and another Pongal to the back left Rearguard.

I asked Gallatin to attack the Vanguard before Taishi had Iron Tail Dragon guard against the attack. Taishi asked what else I had before I asked Flogal to support Blaster Blade in an attack against the Vanguard.

I did a Drive Trigger Check getting a Critical Trigger giving the Critical to Blaster Blade but I gave the 5000 Power bonus to Pongal. I asked my Pongal's to combine their attacks in an attack against Barr before I rolled my eyes wondering why he didn't guard.

I ended my turn before he rode Dragon Knight, Nehalem hearing him tell us that he moves Monica back allowing him to call Berserk Dragon where Monica was but he also called Chain Attack Dragon, Sutherland to the front right Rearguard. I picked up Gallatin apologizing to him before I heard him tell me it's fine, it happened because Berserk's Counterblast was activated.

I smiled at that when I put him in the Drop Zone telling him I was still sorry regardless. I heard Taishi say that he activates Sutherland's ability adding 3000 Power for that turn because Taishi sent one of my Units to the Drop Zone.

I was given one damage from the attack before Taishi said he's not done having Nehalem attack next. I asked Llew to guard the attack before Taishi checked for a Drive Trigger getting a Heal Trigger but I wasn't really surprised.

He gave the 5000 Power to Berserk Dragon before he said that Berserk Dragon attacks with support from Monica. I felt the flames from the attack since I was being stupid in imagining the attack, unless Daichi's showing himself which I don't want.

I felt burns on my skin under my clothes and I was glad no one could see them but I bit my tongue tasting blood when I did so so I wouldn't scream. I heard Taishi say that I bitten off more than I can chew which is somewhat true with the fact I cut my tongue.

I heard Taishi say that I'm scared making me shake my head "the one thing I'm scared of is losing the one I fall for that's it Miwa" I told him before I stood and drew. I rode Solitary Knight, Gancelot seeing that I only have him, Young Pegasus Knight, and Iseult in my hand.

I called Young Pegasus Knight to the back left Rearguard before I activated a Counterblast moving Pongal to the Soul adding Soul Saver Dragon to my hand. Because I had moved Pongal to the Soul Pegasus Knight's able to gain 3000 Power for the turn.

I activated another Counterblast adding Pongal to the Soul again increasing Young Knight's ability again adding another Soul Saver to my hand which surprised many people apparently. I called Soul Saver to the front right Rearguard before I activated Gancelot's Counterblast giving him an extra Critical and 5000 Power to him as well.

I asked Pegasus Knight to attack and since it wasn't guarded it went through before Taishi checked for a Damage Trigger not getting a Trigger. I asked Flogal to support Gancelot in an attack against the Vanguard but it was guarded by Dragon Monk and intercepted by Berserk Dragon.

I checked the Twin Drive getting a Critical Trigger on the second check and I feel something's wrong with this somehow. I gave all the effects to Soul Saver because even with the 5000 extra power the attack can't get past the guard.

I saw Taishi put Berserk and Flame Seed in the Drop Zone before I asked Soul Saver to attack and it wasn't guarded but Taishi got a Draw Trigger when he checked for a Damage Trigger. I heard Reiji say that Taishi's at five damage before Eiji said that I can turn this around.

I was smiling when I heard the crowd talk about who they think would win, what I thought, and some were cheering for Team Overthrow but the ones on our side were cheering for Team Q4. I saw Taishi wave at the people who were cheering for his team before he told me that since they want him to win he will.

He called Final Turn pointing his right pointer finger to the ceiling before he even called Final Turn. He rode Garnet Dragon, Flash calling Embodiment of Spear, Tar to the back right position in the Vanguard.

I wasn't really surprised that Taishi had Dragonic Overlord or even called him to the front left position in the Rearguard since it seems Kai and Taishi have the same deck. Taishi said that it's a blast from the past because it was a 'nasty' card that Kai used in my first match against him.

He told me he wasn't going to take it easy on me and I nodded smiling "I'm glad because I don't like it when people do that" I told him before he activated Dragonic Overlord's Counterblast. I heard Kamui say 'be careful' when that happened before he explained to Eiji and Reiji why he said it.

Taishi told them that he was going to save the best for last before he said that Sutherland was going to attack with support from Tar. I was being stupid again when I imagined that attack but I gripped the table so I wouldn't fall and bit the inside of my cheek to not make a sound.

I heard Kamui tell me to hang in there but I don't know why when I showed barely any signs of needing to. Taishi told me that Garnet Dragon's ability allows him to add 3000 Power to any Kagero Unit on the field telling me that I should already know which one making me nod.

Flash attacked and I was debating whether I should guard or not so I went with the first thought that came to mind, I guarded with Epona. Taishi checked the Twin Drive getting a Critical on the second check and gave all effects to Dragonic Overlord.

"With support Dragonic Overlord has a high power of 26000" Taishi told me and I nodded before he attacked but I guarded with Iseult surprising Taishi since he didn't see me ask her to guard. I stood and drew after Taishi told me I was stronger than before but that felt weird after I had used PSY Qualia three times now without trying.

I rode Soul Saver Dragon before I realized I had seen this already so I activated Holy Charging Roar. I activated the Soulblast as well to add 5000 Power to Pegasus Knight, Flogal, and the Rearguard Soul Saver.

I asked Flogal to support Soul Saver in an attack against the Vanguard before I looked at him seeing him shrug, I checked the Twin Drive not getting a Trigger before I won the game. I heard Shin say that the winner of the Card Shop Tournament is Team Q4 before I heard Kamui say I did it and Misaki say I did good work.

I could see that something's bugging Kai but I wasn't sure what it was when I saw Kai walk out of Card Capitol. "Nice job you're really tough" I heard Taishi say as something was placed on my head but from the feel I'm guessing it's the hat he was wearing earlier.

"Thank you, but I felt uneasy about that match, I'm glad I didn't collapse again" I told him before I looked at the door again. He told me that Kai isn't big on expressing emotions and I nodded telling him I already knew that before he said that moving back here's good for Kai.

I nodded again before I heard Morikawa speak but I didn't pay attention until I was holding Taishi's Chancellor Costume and he left thanking them for the good times. I chuckled at them when Izaki told Morikawa not to do something in front of the kids while Taishi just said 'later' walking outside as if it wasn't happening.

I heard Emi say I did great before I thanked her telling her she was great to, Kamui said she was as well as Reiji and Eiji. I put the costume on the Standing Cardfight Table before I was laughing at Kamui who kept trying to put the Chancellor hat on but it wasn't working.
