A/N: Here we go readers. The fight between Aurora and William. Who will win? You'll just have to read to find out.
The semi finals were off to an exciting start. The first two games of the first match had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Both teams had one win apiece. And now everything would be decided by the final game. The battle between Aurora and William.
Aurora took a deep breath. 'Alright Aurora, get it together. You're only going to be fighting arguably the best fighter in all of Europe. No pressure.'
Suddenly the blonde teen felt a hand on each of her shoulders. She turned around and saw both Dan and Anthony giving her a reassuring smile.
"You've got this Aurora. We believe in you." Dan told her.
"Yeah, so quit acting like a nervous wreck." Anthony added. "Just go out there and kick butt."
Hearing the encouraging words of her teammates brought a smile to Aurora's face as she nodded her head. "You're right guys. Thanks."
"We will now begin the final game of match 1 of the semi finals!" Sachi announced. "For Team Round Table, we have William Lewis!" The crowd roared in applause at seeing William walk out. Needless to say, he was the crowd favorite. "William has made a name for himself in the Vanguard Euro League. And he's lead his team all the way to the semi finals of the World Tournament. With his popularity, Team Round Table has been a favorite to win this tournament." She then turned to the other side of the field. "But his opponent will be the leader of the team of underdogs for this entire tournament. Aurora Fujou! As the only user of one of the two new clans of this tournament, Star Chaser, fans have enjoyed seeing her in action. But does she have the skills to prevail over a champion like William Lewis?"
"I look forward to a good cardfight." William said. "Now show me what you can do."
"With pleasure." Aurora responded.
"Stand up! Vanguard!"
"Twinkle Maiden, Virgo!"

[Turn 2. Hand Aurora(5), William(5).]
"Stand and draw." Aurora said. "I ride Star Child, Pisces "Paidi"!"

"Virgo moves back with forerunner." Aurora said. "And with her boost, Pisces attacks!"
(7000+5000=12000)
"No guard."
"Drive check, no trigger." Aurora said.
"Damage check." William said as he turned a card over. "No trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(0), William(1).]
"Turn end."
[Turn 3. Hand Aurora(6), William(5).]
"It's my turn. Stand and draw." William said. "I ride Star Hope Trumpeter!"
Star Hope Trumpeter
Grade 2, Power: 9000
"Next I call Wingal Youth." William said, placing the grade 1 rear guard in his front row. "Wingal Youth attacks!"
(7000)
"I guard!" Aurora said, holding up a grade 2 from her hand.
"Well in that case, Star Hope will attack next with a boost from Wingal Brave."
(9000+5000=14000)
Aurora didn't like letting Wingal Brave get its skill off, but she couldn't just guard the Vanguard attack every turn. "No guard."
A grin came to William's face. "Drive check. No trigger."
"Damage check." Aurora said. "No trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(1), William(1).]
"Wingal Brave's skill. Move to the soul." William explained. "Then I search my deck for a Blaster unit and add it to my hand. I add Blaster Blade to my hand." Having the unit key to his strategy in his hand brought ease to him. "And with that, I will end my turn."
[Turn 4. Hand Aurora(5), William(6).]
"My turn then. Stand and draw." Aurora said. "I ride Celestial Scale Maiden, Libra!"
Celestial Scale Maiden, Libra
Grade 2, Power: 9000
"With Virgo's skill, I bind her and then look at the top 2 cards of the deck. One goes to the bind zone and the other goes to my hand." Aurora explained. "I bind Star Mother, Pisces "Mitera", and add the other card to my hand. Then I call Gemini to rear guard, as well as Ursa."
'Setting up her bind zone while going on the attack. As expected.' William thought.
"Gemini attacks!"
(9000)
"Guard!" William said, using a grade 1 from his hand.
"Libra is up next with Ursa's boost! And Ursa's skill lets me bind a card and add 3000 power!"
(9000+7000+3000=19000)
"No guard."
"Drive check." Aurora said. "Critical trigger. All effects to the Vanguard."
Seeing that critical trigger was not what William had been hoping. "Damage check. First check, no trigger. Second check, draw trigger. Power to the Vanguard and I draw."
[Damage: Aurora(1), William(3).]
"I'll call it a turn with that." Aurora smirked.
[Turn 5. Hand Aurora(5), William(6).]
"Stand and draw." William said. 'Aurora. You and your team have gone farther than I would have thought possible for players of your experience.' he thought. 'You've earned your place here. But I will fight for what I always have. My friends. And my pride as a cardfighter.'
"Righteous warrior of legend! Bring hope to this battlefield and banish all darkness! Ride! Blaster Blade Exceed!"
Blaster Blade Exceed
Grade 3, Power: 11000
"I move Wingal back, and then call Favored Pupil of Light and Dark, Llew in front of it." William explained. "Now go Blaster Blade, Exceed! Lead the way!"
(11000)
"Guard." Aurora said, holding up her critical trigger.
"Twin drive." William said. "First check, no trigger. Second check, heal trigger. Power to Llew and I recover one."
[Damage: Aurora(1), William(2).]
"Boosted by Wingal Youth, Llew attacks!"
(9000+5000+7000=21000)
"No guard." Aurora said. "Damage check, no trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(2), William(2).]
"I use Wingal Youth's skill. Look at the top seven cards of the deck and add Blaster Blade Exceed to my hand. Then Wingal moves to the soul." William explained. "Turn end."
"Incredible!" Sach called out to the crowd. "William Lewis was losing 3 to 1, but in just one turn he managed to tie up the game at 2 damage apiece! Now how will Aurora Fujou respond?"
[Turn 6. Hand Aurora(4), William(8).]
"Stand and draw." Aurora said. 'William's good. To be expected, considering his reputation. But I can't afford to lose here.'
"Your light shines and illuminates the entire galaxy! Strike your foes down with the speed of a shooting star! Ride! Star of Hope, Hikari!"
Star of Hope, Hikari
Grade 3, Power: 11000
"And here it is! Aurora's ace unit! Star of Hope, Hikari!" Sachi announced. "The beautiful swordswoman of the Star Chaser clan! How bright will her light shine in this fight?!"
"Here we go! Stride Generation!" Aurora called out. "Nebula Beast, Draco Nova!"
Nebula Beast, Draco Nova
Grade 4, Power: 15000
"Stride skill! I bind Star Child, Pisces "Paidi" from the deck. Then I call it behind Gemini! Adding 3000 power!" Aurora explained. "Next, up Gemini's skill triggers! Now at the end of the turn, it returns to my hand! And now I use Draco Nova's skill! I bind a card in my hand, a card in my drop zone, and my rear guard Ursa. Then from the bind zone, call two units. I call two units. I call Pride of the Stars, Leo and Star Beast, Ursa to my empty column. And then my Vanguard gains plus one drive."
"Here's the Star Chaser clan at its finest people!" Sachi said. "Sending their own units to the bind zone, only to reappear onto the field! It's like they're appearing through a wormhole in space!"
"Leo's skill adds 10000 power to itself." Aurora said. "And since I have Pisces "Mitera" in the bind zone, Pisces "Paidi" gains 5000 power, as well as a skill."
"Nice. She's got a good formation set up." Dan grinned.
"Go for it!" Anthony called out. "Beat him to a pulp!"
"With a boost from Ursa, Leo attacks!" Aurora declared. "Ursa's skill binds a card and adds 3000 power to this attack!"
(11000+10000+7000+3000=31000)
"Generation guard!" William called out. "Little Great Sage, Marron!"
Little Great Sage, Marron
Grade 4, Shield: 15000
"Marron's soul blast. I call Blaster Blade from the deck to the guardian circle! Then, 5000 is added to the shield!"
Aurora narrowed her eyes. 'Of all the units he could have called with the skill, he chose Blaster Blade? But why?' Now wasn't the time to ask such questions as she continued her assault. "Draco Nova attacks the Vanguard!"
(26000)
"Perfect guard with Divine Maiden of Spring, Lien. Using her soul blast, your attack is blocked."
"Tch, quadruple drive!" Aurora called out. "First check, no trigger. Second check, draw trigger! Power to Gemini and I draw! Third check, critical trigger! All effects to Gemini! Final check, no trigger."
"Two of Aurora's attacks have been blocked, but she pulls a double trigger in her drive checks!" Sachi announced. "Will it go through? Or does William Lewis intend to block every attack Aurora throws his way this turn?!"
"Boosted by Pisces "Paidi", Gemini attacks!"
(9000+10000+7000+5000+3000=34000)
"No guard." William said. "Damage check. First check, critical trigger. All effects to my Vanguard. Second check, no trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(2), William(4).]
"With the skill of Pisces "Paidi", I draw a card since the attack hit." Aurora said. "Turn end. Gemini goes back to my hand."
[Turn 7. Hand Aurora(9), William(6).]
"Stand and draw." William said. "I must commend you Aurora. You're doing quite well. However, I have no plans of losing here."
"Bring it on."
"As you wish. Stride Generation! Holy Divine Knight, Gancelot Peace Saver!"
Holy Divine Knight, Gancelot Peace Saver
Grade 4, Power: 15000+
"Stride skill. I search my deck for Blaster Blade and add it to my hand." William explained. "Next I call New Style Blaster, Llew. With his skill, I send the Blaster Blade in my drop zone to the bottom of the deck. Llew gains 5000 power."
Aurora widened her eyes. 'So that's why he used Blaster Blade for the skill of his G Guardian last turn.'
"I'm not done. Next I call Blaster-friend, Barcgal behind Favored Pupil of Light and Darkness, Llew." William said. "Boosted by Barcgal, Llew attacks! With his skill, he gains 3000 power!"
(9000+3000+7000=19000)
"No guard." Aurora said. "Damage check, no trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(3), William(4).]
"With Llew's skill, I counterblast and send him to the soul." William said. "Then I superior call Blaster Blade from the deck where Llew was! Adding 3000 power! And since it was called in the same column as Blaster-friend, Barcgal. I get to countercharge."
'Great so now he gets another attack off.'
"I'm not done! Activating Blaster Blade's skill! Counterblast!" William said, paying a counterblast cost of 2. "Pride of the Stars, Leo is retired."
Aurora gasped as light shot out from Blaster Blade's sword and struck Leo, forcing the grade 3 to retire.
"Damn, he knows what he's doing." Dan commented. "Without Leo, Aurora's attacking power just took a big drop."
"All that damage is giving him plenty of counterblasts to use." Anthony said.
"Blaster Blade, attack the Vanguard!" William commanded.
(9000+3000=12000)
"Guard!" Aurora said, holding up Gemini from her hand.
"Gancelot attacks." William said. "Gancelot's skill. I countercharge and he gains a drive. In addition, since there's a face up card in my G Zone, he also gains a critical."
"All the more reason for me to stop it!" Aurora said as she held up a copy of Orion from her hand. "Perfect guard!"
"Quadruple drive." William said. "First check, critical trigger. All effects to New Style Blaster, Llew. Second check, no trigger. Third check, no trigger. Final check, draw trigger. Power to Llew and I draw."
'I blocked that one, but there's still one more left.' Aurora thought.
"New Style Blaster, Llew attacks!"
(11000+5000+10000=26000)
"Generation guard! Protector of the Cosmos, Andromeda!"
Protector of the Cosmos, Andromeda
Grade 4, Shield: 15000
"Andromeda's skill adds 10000 to the shield since there are at least 2 cards in my bind zone." Aurora said.
"Turn end." William said.
"After a stunning four attacks from William Lewis, Aurora only takes one damage!" Sachi told the crowd. "This game has gone back and forth! So exciting!"
[Turn 8. Hand Aurora(5), William(10).]
"Stand and draw." Aurora said. She looked at her situation. 'I could try and go into Meteor Shower Dragon, but he's got ten cards in hand. I'm not sure I'd be able to finish him. That leaves me with one option.'
"Using Hikari's skill. I bind Pisces "Paidi" to countercharge." Aurora said. "Stride Generation! Nebula Beast, Cosmos Pegasus!"
Nebula Beast, Cosmos Pegasus
Grade 4, Power: 15000+
"Stride skill! I bind Pisces "Paidi" from the deck. However, I choose no to call any units with the skill." Aurora said.
Thomas narrowed his eyes. "Why wouldn't she call with the skill? Especially when her field is so empty."
"Because she doesn't need to." Elizabeth said. "If you remembered that unit from the videos we watched on her, you'd realize that."
"Skill of Cosmos Pegasus." Aurora said, paying the cost as she counterblasted and flipped a copy of it over. "There are now four face up cards in the G Zone. That means I can call four units."
'A plan to refill her nearly empty board. Smart play.' William thought.
"I call two copies of Pisces "Paidi" to the back row, and then Pisces "Mitera" and Scorpius to the front row!" Aurora said. "They each gain 5000 power! And since I called two or more units, Pegasus gains a critical!"
With Aurora's formation, she had both versions of Pisces together in her left column, her other Pisces "Paidi" behind her Vanguard, and Scorpius in front of Ursa. And with a copy of Pisces "Mitera" and "Paidi" both in her bind zone, all of her Pisces rear guards were at full power.
"Pisces "Mitera" attacks with a boost from Pisces "Paidi"!" Aurora declared.
(9000+5000+5000+7000+5000+5000=36000)
"No guard. Damage check, heal trigger. Power to the Vanguard and I recover one."
[Damage: Aurora(3), William(4).]
'Damn, that's gonna make things annoying.' Aurora thought. "Pisces "Paidi" lets me draw since the attack hit. And now my other Pisces "Paidi" boosts an attack by my Vanguard!"
(26000+7000+5000+5000=43000)
"Perfect guard!" William called out. "With Lien's skill, I soul blast and block your attack."
"Triple drive." Aurora said. "First check, no trigger. Second check, no trigger. Third check, critical trigger. All effects to Scorpius. And now Scorpius attacks with a boost from Ursa! Ursa's skill activates!"
(9000+5000+5000+7000+3000=29000)
"Sorry but I can't be losing so easily." William said as he held up two triggers, each with 10000 shield. "Guard."
"Turn end." Aurora said. 'If only he hadn't drawn that damage trigger. I could have had another attack that turn. But the unit Scorpius called out would have been too weak.'
[Turn 9. Hand Aurora(9), William(7).]
"Stand and draw." William said. "Well Aurora, this has been fun. But I'm afraid it's time for me to bring this fight to a close."
'Here it comes.'
"Generation Zone release!" William called out. "Sword of destiny! Slice through this battlefield and carve out my future! Stride Generation! Divine Knight King, Alfred Holy Saver!"
Divine Knight King, Alfred Holy Saver
Grade 4, Power: 15000+
"No need to use the stride skill. Instead I'll call Aspire Painter from my hand." William said. "With its skill, I countercharge and soul charge, as well as add 3000 power to it. Next I call a pair of Floral Paladin, Flogals to the back row."
"Here it is folks!" Sachi spoke to the crowd. "William's going in for his finisher! The combination of Blaster Blade and Floral Paladin, Flogal!"
'He plans to end it this turn.' Aurora realized. 'No matter what, I've gotta endure it.'
"Skill of Alfred Holy Saver." William said. "Blaster Blade gains 3000 power. In addition, he gains twin drive for his first attack of the turn."
From the stands, Sarah and Daiki watched as the game went on. Marcus was with Emma at the moment, deciding to stay with his sister until their match began. Sarah knew all too well what William was capable of with his combo, having experienced it firsthand herself.
'Aurora might not be able to survive this one.' Sarah thought to herself.
"Aspire Painter attacks with a boost from Flogal." William said as he began his attacks for the turn.
(9000+3000+4000=16000)
"Guard!" Aurora said, holding up a trigger from her hand with 10000 shield.
"Flogal boosts. Charge forward, Alfred!"
(26000+4000=30000)
"Perfect guard!" Aurora called out.
"Triple drive." William said. "First check, no trigger. Second check, critical trigger. All effects to Blaster Blade. Third check, no trigger."
'I managed to block his Vanguard.' Aurora thought. 'But now comes the real challenge.'
"Blaster Blade attacks with a boost from Barcgal!"
(9000+3000+5000+7000=24000)
Aurora looked at her hand. Looking closely, one could see sweat rolling down her forehead. Finally she made a decision. "No guard."
Several gasps came from the crowd. Dan and Anthony both tensed up. "Blaster Blade has a critical on it." Anthony said.
"And he has twin drive." Dan added. "Aurora's at 3 damage. If William pulls a critical trigger, it could all be over."
"Twin drive." William said as he reached for his deck.
'Please don't draw a critical. Anything but a critical.' Aurora begged.
"First check… draw trigger. Power to Blaster Blade and I draw." William said. "Second check… no trigger."
Aurora breathed out a sigh of relief. Though she still wasn't out of the woods yet. "Damage check. First card, no trigger. Second check, no trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(5), William(4).]
"Floral Paladin Flogal's skill. Counterblast and return her to the deck. Stand Blaster Blade." William said. "Blaster Blade attacks again!"
(9000+3000+10000=22000)
Aurora held up a grade 0 and 1 from her hand, totalling 15000 shield. "Guard!"
"The same skill once again!" William declared. "Blaster Blade is coming in!"
(9000+3000+10000=22000)
"Guard!" Aurora shouted, holding a grade 2 from her hand. "I also intercept with Pisces "Mitera" and Scorpius!"
William showed a look of surprise on his face, as did most of the crowd. William grinned, interested by the young girl that had held off his attacks. "Turn end."
"U-Unbelievable!" Sachi exclaimed. "William Lewis unleashed a devastating five attacks, but Aurora Fujou managed to survive by the skin of her teeth! Is the famous Euro League fighter actually going to lose?!"
Like their leader had done before, Dan and Anthony breathed sighs of relief. "That was way too close." Dan said.
'If he had drawn even one more trigger, I would have lost for sure.' Aurora thought. 'I survived somehow. But William still has nine cards in his hand. Can I really do this?'
"You can do it, Aurora."
Aurora blinked her eyes in surprise. 'What was that? Did I just hear a voice?' Looking around her, she didn't see anyone else. Just herself, William, and her team behind her. 'Did I imagine it?' She looked down at the board. 'Wait… was that… Hikari?'
"That's right."
Suddenly, Aurora felt her vision go white. She was suddenly standing out in the middle of space. "Wh-What? Where am I?"
The next thing Aurora noticed, a figure was walking towards her. It was blurry at first, but she soon made it out as Hikari. And it wasn't just her. She saw all the units from Star Chaser walking behind her. They all stood before Aurora, looking at her with confidence.
"Everyone…" Aurora gasped. She grinned to herself. "That's right. We've been in plenty of tough fights before, haven't we? But we made it through together." She looked at the units of Star Chaser standing before her. "I'm gonna keep fighting. I'll do my best to lead us to victory. So please. Lend me your strength."
A collective nod came from each of the units. Suddenly, everything was blinded by light again. When Aurora could see again, she found herself back in the stadium. Her fight with William was still going on.
"It's your turn, Aurora." William said again.
[Turn 10. Hand Aurora(3), William(9).]
"Stand and draw." Aurora said. "Get ready William. My clan and I are coming at you full force."
An amused grin came to William's lips. "Give me everything you've got."
"Generation Zone release!" Aurora called out. "Clustering stars, join together! Form the constellation of my future! Stride Generation! Galaxy Dragon, Meteor Shower Dragon!"
Galaxy Dragon, Meteor Shower Dragon
Grade 4, Power: 15000+
"Hope you're ready for this William. I call!" Aurora said, bring out Hikari and Aquarius to her front row, filling up her entire board. "Boosted by Pisces "Paidi", Aquarius attacks!"
(7000+7000+5000=19000)
"Guard!" William said, holding out a trigger with 10000 shield.
"Hikari is up next with a boost from Ursa. And Ursa's skill will add 3000 power while binding the top card of the deck."
(11000+7000+3000=21000)
Once again, William held up a 10000 shield trigger, in addition to moving the Aspire Painter on his field to the guardian circle. "Guard! Intercept!"
"Let's see how you handle this one." Aurora said. "Boosted by Pisces "Paidi", Meteor Shower Dragon attacks!"
(26000+7000+5000=38000)
"Generation guard! Little Great Sage, Marron!"
Little Great Sage, Marron
Grade 4, Shield: 15000
"With Marron's soul blast, I call Blaster Rapier, Laura from the deck to the guardian circle. Add 5000 to the shield." William explained. He added in a critical trigger from his hand. "I also guard with this."
'I'll need 2 triggers to break through.' Aurora thought. "Triple drive. First check, no trigger. Second check, critical trigger. All effects to the Vanguard. Third check, no trigger." Although William had blocked the attack, Aurora still had one more move up her sleeve.
"Skill of Galaxy Dragon, Meteor Shower Dragon! Generation Break 3! I bind all five of my rear guards! Then I call the same number from the bind zone! I call Leo, Hikari, Ursa, and two Pisces "Paidi"s! They each gain 5000 power! Then, since five were called, Meteor Shower stands back up! Drive minus 2!"
Elizabeth tensed up. This was a tight spot. Was… Was William actually going to lose? 'The fighter I've spent so much time trying to overcome. Is Aurora actually going to do it?'
"There's nothing else we can do for him, Elizabeth." Thomas said sensing her anxiety. "The only thing we can do now is have faith in him."
"You're right." Elizabeth nodded.
"Leo attacks with a boost from Pisces!"
(11000+10000+5000+7000+5000+5000=43000)
"No guard." William said. "Damage check, no trigger."
[Damage: Aurora(5), William(5).]
"Boosted by Ursa, Meteor Shower Dragon attacks!" Aurora called out. "You know how this goes by now. Using Ursa's skill."
(26000+5000+7000+5000+3000=46000)
William let out a sigh while having a satisfied smile on his face. "No guard."
Gasps filled the crowd as they heard this. The image of Aurora's G Unit crashed into William's Vanguard. The final damage check came as William was brought to six damage.
[Damage: Aurora(5), William(6).]
Silence filled the stadium. Many were unable to believe what they had just witnessed. Slowly however, claps began to spread around the crowd. Soon it turned into an uproar of applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen we have just witnessed a stunning upset!" Sachi announced. "Denying all the odds, Aurora Fujou has managed to defeat William Lewis! The first team moving onto the finals in none other than Japan's Team Cosmic Trio!"
Even Aurora was having a hard time believing what she had just accomplished. 'I did it… I beat William…'
Aurora soon heard the sound of clapping coming from William as well. "That was a well fought fight Aurora. You beat me, fair and square."
This was beyond her belief. A few months ago she would have killed for the chance to even see William Lewis in person. But now he was showing his respect to her. As an equal. No. As someone who had beaten him.
'Thank you Hikari… Everyone…'
"Aurora!" The blonde haired teen turned around to see Dan and Anthony run over to her. Large grins were on both their faces.
"We did it Aurora! We're moving onto the finals!" Dan said happily.
"That was so awesome! You were great out there!" Anthony added in.
Aurora threw both her arms around her two teammates. "You better believe it! Now there's only one more match keeping us from becoming world champions!"
As everyone continued celebrating Team Cosmic Trio's incredible victory, Aurora felt something from her deck case. She opened it up and widened her eyes. The blank card Yukari had given her was glowing.
"What's going on?" Dan asked.
"I don't know." Aurora said.
The card became veiled in a rainbow of light. Gradually, an image began to form on the card. Aurora's eyes widened as she watched the once blank card transform into a full fledged unit. Aurora couldn't believe the image she saw. "This is…"
Dan grinned. "That looks like a pretty strong card."
"Can't wait to see you use it." Anthony said.
A smile came to Aurora as she put the card away. "Yeah."
"Wow! Aurora was really something, wasn't she?" Emma asked as she watched the fight end between Aurora and William on the television.
Marcus nodded his head. "Yeah. She sure was. I can only hope I can beat her if it comes to it."
Emma looked worriedly at her brother. It would be great for such an exciting match to happen. But before that could happen, Team Sightless Vision would have to face off against Team Apocalypse. That meant the chance of Marcus having to fight Allen Demacio, the one who had beaten her and put her in the infirmary. She didn't want her brother, or any of Team Sightless Vision for that matter, to go through the same pain she had.
"Marcus…" Emma said. "You're going to win, right?"
Marcus nodded his head. "Yeah. I promise." He got up from the chair he was sitting on. "I'll be back after we teach Team Apocalypse a thing or two. See you in a bit sis."
Emma watched as her brother left the room. All she could do was pray for their victory. 'Please Marcus. Be safe.'
Marcus walked down the hall and out of the hotel. He made his way to the stadium, where the toughest fight of his life was waiting for him. 'Just you wait Allen. I won't let you hurt anyone else with your twisted games.'
William: So Aurora, you said your family owns a card shop in Japan?
Aurora: Yeah. It's just me and my dad there.
William: What about your mom?
Aurora: My mom? Well that's… complicated. Anyway, the shop isn't very big. But I still like it.
William: Sounds interesting. I might have to pay it a visit sometime when I have the free time to visit Japan.
Aurora: That'll be eventful. I wonder how my dad would react to having a big celebrity in the shop. But for now, we've got a big game coming up. Sightless Vision and Apocalypse.
Next time: For My Sister
