Cardfight! Vanguard! Goals!
Special Chapter 1 – Back in Vanguard
Caroline is playing at a card shop near her school, she is wearing her school uniform. She has just lost to Eve Targett, she is using her deck, Nubatama. "Alright, ROYAL FLUSH!" Eve reveals the top five cards of her deck, and from the top shows: 1 grade 3, grade 2 and grade 1 unit and 2 grade 0 units. "Alright! HIT! Yakahisa's ability! Counterblast, and you choose three cards that you can keep. Then, you have to bind the rest." Eve smirks.
"What?! That's a powerful ability. Only three… Then I choose these three." Caroline chooses, a perfect guard (Immobilizing Succubus), a grade 3 (Lack of Will, Almana) and a trigger unit (Dark Sniper). Caroline then proceeds to bind six cards face down from her hand.
"I'm not done yet. Stealth Dragon, Kakuzu and Kokujyo, they get 2000 power each time a card is sent to your bind zone. You just sent 6 cards to the bind zone, so they get 12000 power!" Eve pretends to laugh maniacally. "HAHAHAHAHA."
"The damage is also 4 to 5." Caroline comments on her damage which is at 4, and her vanguard being Emptiness Lord, Almana. "At the very least I have a cross-ride body."
"That won't protect you!" Eve rests her Kokujyo. "That's 21000 power to your vanguard. You won't be able to do much but lose."
Caroline places Dark Sniper on the guardian circle. Eve then rests her vanguard lane – Shura Rogue, Yakahisa and Stealth Dragon, Kakuzu – and points to Almana. Caroline declares 'No Guard' against her opponent. After checking the damage triggers, Eve continues and takes a card out of her soul into the drop zone.
"Soul Blast! I choose two cards from your bind zone and send them to the drop zone. Effectively making you discard 2. I choose those two face down cards." Eve points to two random face down cards. "Kokujyo now attacks your vanguard again."
"I don't have enough cards in my hand to guard her other attack!" Caroline startled by the sudden appearance of Yakahisa. She looks at her rear-guard with only 1 unit that can intercept. "No guard." Caroline takes her sixth damage and smiles. The two girls then pack up their cards.
"Ever since Gorden has taken over as the head of the school. The school has relatively calmed down." Caroline smiles towards her friend. "And I'm rather glad that it has."
"That Royal Flush unit really caught me off guard. I didn't even know it existed." Caroline smiles at Eve. "Is it from a new pack?"
"I've had this for a while Caroline! You just haven't been keeping in touch with vanguard as much. You took that 3 month break off vanguard didn't you?" Eve comments. "Well, basically. For royal flush, you reveal the top five cards of your deck to your opponent, and count the total grade of the cards revealed. The card text states what the requirement is, for Yakahisa it's 7 or more. A rather taxing count if I do say so myself. So I definitely got lucky on that one."
"I see, so you can manipulate it by manipulating your deck. For example, in Neo Nectar and Royal Paladin you could take out the lower grade units and leave the higher grades in your deck for a powerful ability." Caroline replies to Eve.
"Yep, other recommendations is to utilize a Limit Break unit along with it as a final pusher, in the case your deck doesn't that the ability to reach the requirements." Eve adds on more tips to Caroline's.
Another player comes in and the receptionist says "Oh hey! Welco-" she is then cut off by the player walking in.
"Are you… strong?" The player asks the receptionist grinning intimidatingly.
The receptionist is shocked to see that question be answered. "What? You know that I play vanguard. I prefer other card games."
The player then goes on and ignores her and sees Caroline, and smiles. "What about you? Are you… strong?"
"Ehhh… okay?" Caroline confused by the strange challenge from the unknown fighter. They both move to a cardfight table. And set up their fields and shout "Stand Up! Vanguard!" Caroline's starting vanguard is Sacrificed Child [Grade 0, 4000 Power, 10000 Shield], and the unknown fighter's is "Tricky Idol, Ness" [Grade 0, 5000 Power, 10000 Shield].
The damage is 2 (Caroline) to 1 (Unknown fighter), with the unknown fighter ready to move to his turn. "I ride! PRISM-Romance, Vezere! [Grade 3, 10000 Power] I activate the ability of Vezere! ROYAL FLUSH! HIT! Counterblast, Tricky Idol, Ness returns back to my hand and draw a card. Then, I activate Vezere's ability, counterblast. My vanguard gets 10000 Power and +1 Critical!"
"WHAT?! But I'm only on grade 2." Caroline reacts surprised to the ability. Caroline looks at her hand desperately trying to find to guard the following attacks with her vanguard being Darkness Paladin.
"I call Agnatus. Soul Blast, I unflip a card from my damage. Then Agnatus gets 3000 power. I call PRISM-Image, Marinus. I activate the ability, I give a new skill to Agnatus. I attack your vanguard with Marinus boosted by Agnatus." [PRISM-Image, Marinus (9000 Power, 1 Critical) + PRISM-Sadness, Agnatus (10000 Power) = 19000 Power Darkness Paladin (9000 Power)]
Damage Check: Darkness Paladin [No Trigger]
"The skill that Agnatus gained from Marinus, Agnatus returns to my hand when a card in the same column as it deals damage to my opponent." The unknown fighter puts Agnatus back into his hand. The unknown fighter then smirks. "My vanguard attacks Darkness Paladin." [PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 + 2000 × 5 = 20000 Power, 1 + 1 = 2 Critical) Darkness Paladin (9000 Power)] The unknown fighter drive checks, and gets a stand trigger. "I stand Marinus and give it the power."
Damage Check: Demon Sorceress [No Trigger], Emptiness Lord, Almana [No Trigger]
"Already at 4 damage." Caroline looks at her damage, then places Death Howler to guard the next attack by the re-stood Marinus. [PRISM-Image, Marinus (9000 + 5000 = 14000 Power, 1 Critical) Darkness Paladin (9000 Power) + Death Howler (10000 Shield) = 19000 Power]

"He has nine cards in his hand, 2 damage and I have 4 damage. This is not looking good for me. I ride! Lack of Will, Almana! [Grade 3, 10000 Power] I call Demon Sorceress [Grade 2, 8000 Power, 5000 Shield]. I activate my vanguard's LIMIT BREAK! Counterblast, Sacrificed Child loses 4000 power, and my vanguard gets 10000 power. Demon Sorceress' skill, she gains 3000 power because my vanguard has 20000 power. Demon Sorceress attacks boosted by Reawaken Half Angel!"
Her opponent puts down Tricky Idol, Ness onto the guardian circle. [Demon Sorceress (8000 + 3000 Power, 1 Critical) + Reawaken Half Angel (6000 Power) = 17000 Power, 1 Critical PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power) + Tricky Idol, Ness (10000 Shield) = 20000 Power]
"Almana attacks your vanguard. Her second skill gives 3000 power when attacking a vanguard." Caroline rests her vanguard but not the Sacrificed Child behind her. Her opponent doesn't guard. [Lack of Will, Almana (10000 + 10000 + 3000 = 23000 Power, 1 Critical) PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power)] and she drive checks. Drive Check: Death Howler [Stand Trigger], "I give all effects to Demon Sorceress." Witch with no Name [No Trigger]
Damage Check: PRISM-Image, Marinus [No Trigger]
Caroline's opponent then places PRISM-Miracle, Timor on the guardian circle to guard Demon Sorceress. [Demon Sorceress (11000 + 5000 = 16000 Power, 1 Critical)]

"My turn, draw. Royal Flush! HIT! My vanguard gets 8000 Power. Then, I call Agnatus. Soul Blast, Counter Charge and power. Marinus attacks your vanguard." The fighter rests his PRISM units to unleash another siege on the Empty Heart's hideout, only to be lead away by a wolf. [PRISM-Image, Marinus (9000 Power) + PRISM-Sadness, Agnatus (7000 + 3000 Power) = 19000 Power Lack of Will, Almana (10000 Power) + Death Howler (10000 Shield) = 20000 Power] Vezere is rested to attack Almana.
"I guard that with Death Howler, and Witch with no Name!" Caroline. [PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 + 2000 × 4 Power, 2 Critical) Lack of Will, Almana (10000 Power) + Death Howler (10000 Shield) + Witch with no Name (5000 Shield) = 25000 Power]

Eve watching from the sidelines looks on. "Alright, she didn't take any damage this turn." She mutters under her breath.
Caroline draws a card. "I call Demon Sorceress. I activate my Almana's Limit Break! Sacrificed Child loses 4000 power, and my vanguard gets 10000. Demon Sorceress attacks your vanguard." Demon Sorceress comes out of the hideout to attack Vezere from behind. However, Marinus spotting the attack jumps in front of the spell cast by the sorceress and disappears. [Demon Sorceress (11000 Power) PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power) + PRISM-Image, Marinus (5000 Shield) = 15000 Power] Caroline rests her vanguard and attacks Vezere. [Lack of Will, Almana (23000 Power) PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power)] Caroline reveals two cards from the top of her deck. Drive Check: Emptiness Lord, Almana [No Trigger], Black Fairy [Heal Trigger]. "I heal a card from my damage zone and give power to my other Demon Sorceress."
Damage Check: PRISM-Miracle, Adria [Draw Trigger] "I give the power to my vanguard and draw a card. I guard your last attack with PRISM-Miracle, Irish!" [Demon Sorceress (16000 Power) + Reawaken Half Angel (6000 Power) = 22000 Power PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 + 5000 Power) + PRISM-Miracle, Irish (10000 Shield) = 25000 Power] The demon sorceress with support from the angel releases another magical spell towards Vezere and it is taken by Irish, who screams before disintegrating.
Eve continues watching. "Alright! She's evened the score!"

"Pshhht… It's not over yet." The unknown fighter proclaims. "I ride! Vezere! I activate Vezere's second skill. Especial Counterblast, I return Agnatus from the field to my hand. "I activate Vezere's skill! ROYAL FLUSH!" The fighter proceeds to reveal 2 grade 2 units and 1 grade 1 unit, the rest of the units are grade 0s. His eye twitches. "I call Agnatus and PRISM-Romance, Lumiere. [Grade 2, 9000 Power, 5000 Shield] Skill, Soul Blast, Counter Charge, and power gain. My vanguard attacks boosted by Agnatus." His opponent declares no guard and he proceeds to drive check no triggers.
Damage Check: Emptiness Lord, Almana [No Trigger]
"Lumiere attacks your vanguard." The fighter smirks seeing a card he could use from his drive check.

"I call Death Howler, I activate my vanguard's ULTIMATE BREAK! Counter Blast 2! Death Howler loses 4000 power and my whole front-row gets 10000 power! Now, Death Howler's skill activates. I put it into the soul and Counter Charge. My Demon Sorceress on the left attacks Vezere."
"Perfect Guard!" The unknown fighter places a PRISM-Duo, Aria on the guardian circle. [Demon Sorceress (11000 + 10000 = 21000 Power) PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Aria (Cannot be hit) = Cannot be hit]
"I attack your vanguard with Almana boosted Sacrificed Child!" [Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 + 10000 Power) + Sacrificed Child (4000 Power) = 27000 Power PRISM-Romance, Vezere (10000 Power)] Her opponent doesn't guard the attack, and so she proceeds with the drive check. Drive Check: Lack of Will, Almana [No Trigger], Dark Sniper [Critical Trigger]. "Alright Critical Trigger! You've lost!" Caroline smiles after having a fun game with her opponent. Emptiness Lord, Almana charges towards Vezere and slashing her apart, and she disintegrates.
Damage Check: PRISM-Miracle, Adria [Draw Trigger], PRISM-Miracle, Timor [Heal Trigger] "Heheh, HEAL TRIGGER! I heal 1 damage and give the power to my vanguard."
Caroline surprised by the timing of the heal trigger. She proceeds to rest her last lane. "Demon Sorceress attacks boosted by Reawaken Half Angel." Her opponent places Irish on the guardian circle.

"Alright, it's time to show this weakling what true strength is!" The unknown fighter proudly proclaims his victory. "Let the power consume you! Let the stage be your weapon! March on with those that are blessed by your song. I RIDE! PRISM-Sadness! Phyllis… ЯEVERSE!" [Grade 3, 11000 Power] A new mermaid appears this one, with a dark red aura covering it. The mermaid sings and all the units that were formerly working with Vezere become enshrouded in a red aura. Almana looks at the new mermaid completely surprised.
"Reverse?" Caroline confused by the emphasis on that part of the name. "I don't think I've heard of that card before. Then again, I haven't heard of the many new cards like Vezere."
"I call PRISM-Duo, Avon [Grade 2, 8000 Power, 5000 Shield] and Yarmouk [Grade 1, 6000 Power, 5000 Shield]. I activate Phyllis' skill and return Lumiere and Agnatus to my hand. I call Agnatus and soul blast. Now, I activate my vanguard's… LIMIT BREAK! Lock! I superior call Lumiere and Yarmouk from my hand. Now, those units get 5000 power from the limit break!" On cray, the mermaid continues singing and more mermaids covered in dark aura appear in front of Almana. "Avon attacks your vanguard!"
"I guard that with Demonic Sorcerer, Damon!" Caroline in hast completely thrown off by the new units calls a unit to her guardian circle. [PRISM-Duo, Avon (8000 + 3000 × 2 = 14000 Power) Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Demonic Sorcerer, Damon (5000 Shield) = 18000 Power] Caroline's opponent smirks and then proceeds to rest his centre lane. "I guard that with Black Fairy and Witch with no Name!" [PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis "Яeverse" (11000 Power) +PRISM-Duo, Yarmouk (6000 + 5000 Power) = 22000 Power Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Black Fairy (10000 Shield) + Witch with no Name (5000 Shield) = 28000 Power]
"I drive check." The fighter reveals the top card of his deck. Drive Check: PRISM-Miracle, Maena [Stand Trigger], "I stand Avon and give the power to Lumiere." The opponent then proceeds to reveal the next card: PRISM-Miracle, Maena [Stand Trigger] "Another trigger. I give the power to Avon and stand Yarmouk."
On cray, Phyllis is smirking and surrounded by dark red aura. She unleashes another song at the demon of no will, who is defended by a fairy and a witch that shatter into fragments of light. Almana is absolutely confused by this new mermaid. She is then attacked by Lumiere and Yarmouk surrounded by red aura but is guarded by a succubus that glares at the opposing units and they stop in their tracks. [PRISM-Romance, Lumiere (12000 + 5000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Yarmouk (6000 + 3000 × 2 Power) = 34000 Power Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Immobilizing Succubus (Cannot be hit) = Cannot be hit]
Eve watching the fight notices that Caroline is thrown off like in her match. "At least she's recovered from the confusion and has survived." Agnatus now appears back face up on the field.

"I call Reawaken Half Angel [Grade 1, 6000 Power, 5000 Shield] to rear-guard. I activate my vanguard's ULTIMATE BREAK! Reawaken Half Angel loses 4000 power, and my whole front-row gets 10000 power! Reawaken Half Angel's skill, when he loses power I give 2000 power to another unit. I give it to Demon Sorceress." Caroline says ready to win the game in this turn.
On cray, Reawaken Half Angel holds his hand out to Almana with a ball of energy in it. Almana takes it and crushes it in her hand lending the power to Demon Sorceress as well. Demon Sorceress then attacks with support from Reawaken Half Angel. Lumiere intercepts the attack and Maena also defends Phyllis. [Demon Sorceress (21000 + 2000 Power) + Reawaken Half Angel (2000 Power) = 25000 Power PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis "Яeverse" (11000 Power) + PRISM-Miracle, Maena (10000 Shield) + PRISM-Romance, Lumiere (5000 Shield) = 26000 Power] Almana prepares her attack supported by the Sacrificed Child. PRISM-Duo, Aria takes the attack for Almana. [Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 + 10000 Power) + Sacrificed Child (4000 Power) = 27000 Power PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis "Яeverse" (11000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Aria (Cannot be hit) = Cannot be hit]
"Drive Check. First Check, Immobilizing Succubus [No Trigger]. Second Check, Witch of Zero, Hisilia [No Trigger]." Caroline looks at the cards that she got from the drive check and aims to figure out how to survive the next turn. "My other Demon Sorceress attacks boosted by Reawaken Half Angel."
"Perfect Guard!" The opponent smirks thinking he's won. [Demon Sorceress (21000 Power) + Reawaken Half Angel (6000 Power) = 27000 Power PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis "Яeverse" (11000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Aria (Cannot be hit) = Cannot be hit]

"Now for the… FINAL TURN! Stand and draw. I call PRISM-Promise, Curalim. [Grade 1, 7000 Power, 5000 Shield] I activate my vanguard's ability. Especial Counterblast, I return Agnatus to my hand. The ability of Curalim activates! I return it to my hand and soul charge. Then, Yarmouk and Avon get 6000 power. I call Agnatus and Curalim again. I activate Phyllis' ability again." The fighter counterblasts twice and sends both Agnatus and Curalim back to the hand. "Yarmouk and Avon get another 6000 power. Now, I call Agnatus and soul blast. I call Curalim again and return it to my hand. My units get another 3000 power. Now, I call Curalim and lock it. LIMIT BREAK! Normally I have to call 2, however, because I only have 1 card in my hand. I call Agnatus to the field! SUPERIOR CALL and it gets 5000 power. Agnatus' skill soul blast. Counter charge and power gain." The fighter rests Avon and points to Almana.
"I guard that with Dark Sniper and Witch of Zero, Hisilia!" Caroline places the cards on the table and keeps analysing the field and her hand. [PRISM-Duo, Avon (8000 + 3000 × 5 = 23000 Power) Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Dark Sniper (10000 Shield) + Witch of Zero, Hisilia (5000 Shield) = 28000 Power]
"Phyllis attacks boosted by Yarmouk!" He rests the centre lane and points to Almana again.
"I guard that with Black Fairy and intercept with my two Demon Sorceress! You need a trigger to pass." Caroline continues struggles to survive this turn. [PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis "Яeverse" (11000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Yarmouk (6000 + 3000 × 5 Power) = 32000 Power Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Demon Sorceress (5000 Shield) + Demon Sorceress (5000 Shield) + Black Fairy (10000 Shield) = 33000 Power]
The unknown fighter begins laughing wickedly, and prepares to do his final drive check. "Drive Check. First Check, PRISM-Duo, Yarmouk [No Trigger]." He looks at the failure of pulling a trigger and continues on with the second. PRISM-Sadness, Phyllis [No Trigger].
On cray, Phyllis is releasing a soundwave with all her strength at a worn-out Almana, but fails to penetrate through and becomes tired out. Agnatus then proceeds to try finish off the weakened Almana. However, the Succubus defends the worn-out demon of no will. [PRISM-Sadness, Agnatus (7000 + 3000 Power) + PRISM-Duo, Yarmouk (21000 Power) = 31000 Power Emptiness Lord, Almana (13000 Power) + Immobilizing Succubus (Cannot be hit) = Cannot be hit]
On the table, the unknown fighter is outraged at not being able to finish the fight in this turn. "DAMN IT ALL!"

"I call… Lack of Will, Almana." Caroline places her main unit on the rear-guard circle. "My vanguard attacks your vanguard!" Her opponent looks at his hand and field, with only enough to guard 1 attack. He takes the attack and prepares to damage check.
On the battlefield, the Emptiness Lord summons the last ounce of her power and charges at the tired mermaid. She punches the mermaid with all her force and sends her back flying. Damage Check: PRISM-Image, Marinus [No Trigger]

"I've lost. I've lost. I've lost." After taking the sixth damage, the fighter clinches his head and continues doing it. He begins screaming in pain and passes out from the game. Falling to the floor.
Eve watching the fight comments on the reaction from the fighter after his loss. "Well, that was weird. A bit of an extreme reaction for losing don't you think?" She asks Caroline.
"Yeah, sure." Caroline just stares in shock. "By the way, do you know what that 'Reverse' mermaid unit was?" She asks Eve knowing that she should know more about the vanguard world at the moment.
"Nope, never heard of it." Eve says just as surprised having seen it. "Maybe we could sneak a peek at it." She walks over the fight table to try and spot the card but looks and sees the card has just vanished. The vanguard circle is now empty with nothing on it. "What the-" trying to refrain herself from continuing the statement. She looks at Caroline. "That's weird. He's been passed out for the whole time and somehow the unit disappears?" They leave the card shop pondering what they just saw.
So I have just realized that I used Almana's skill incorrectly. This will be fixed in following chapters. Also, this special arc is created as a replacement for the sequel that I promised people on my facebook page. Sadly, I cancelled it and this special arc is basically a shorter version of that sequel. However, this Special Arc will still probably be the longest arc I've created. Simply, I still need to somehow balance angst with speed.
I'm also going to have to get back into the mode of balancing cardfights with story.
