Chapter Fourteen: An Angel That Hides in the Shadows

Hey there readers, this is the first post of the New Year, hope you've enjoyed 2020 so far.

I just wanted to tell you that I made a slight change in the cardfight, I've noticed that after posting the layout of the field which is displayed at the end of each turn, the units can sometimes look clustered, which confuses people about what column they're in, so I made a system for that. Right next to the unit will be a number, 1, 2, or 3, that is the number of the column it's in, the center column where the vanguard and the rear-guard behind it would be column 1, left column is column 2, and the right column is column 3, the number will be in parenthesis.

If you could, please review on what you think about it, whether it's fine or does it make it more confusing. Now that that's out of the way, here's the new chapter, enjoy.


Team Trinovol entered the stadium and stopped by the concession stand to get some snacks, another day had passed by for Blocks C & D, and now another day had dawned upon the fights for Blocks A & B, once the three left the concession stand, they began to chat amongst themselves.

"It seems that Team Zenith has won another fight and is moving up the ranks," Joel said as he bit into his candy bar.

"It's the same with your brother's team, they're not doing so bad either," Andrea said as she sipped her soda.

"And of course, Nathan and the rest of Team Starblade are advancing in Block B," Leroy said.

"Don't forget about us Leroy," Joel said to him. "The teams we've fought in Block A are no match for us, besides, we're-" he was about to continue when he saw a strange and suspicious look on Andrea's face. "Is something the matter, Andrea?"

"Guys, I think we're being watched," Andrea whispered as the two boys slightly turned their necks, and as they did, they noticed two figures not too far behind them, they were both dressed head to toe in what looked like a ninja outfit.

"So, we're being stalked by...ninjas, I don't see what the big deal is," Joel whispered back.

"Those two look familiar, aren't they part of a team in Block A," Leroy stated as he put his finger on his chin. "But, I don't remember their names,"

"You think they're trying to gather info on us or something?" Andrea asked as she took another glare at the two.

"Not sure, but we should try to do something," Leroy replied.

"Hey, what are you two doing!" a voice exclaimed as the three teens looked in front of them to see a tall girl, she had short blond hair and wore a pink shirt and a long blue skirt. The two figures stopped moving once they saw the girl.

"I'm really sorry about those two, I hope they didn't bother you," the girl bowed apologetically as the two figures suddenly appeared by her side.

"They didn't cause us any trouble miss, thank you," Leroy bowed back as the girl and the other two walked away.

"Well, that was sort of...odd," Joel said.

Andrea looked at her watch and then gasped. "Ah crap, guys we have to hurry, the fights are going to start in a few minutes," she said as the three ran to the participants' hall, they were able to make it just in time, once the teams came out, Joshua and Denton advanced to the stadium.

"How's it going ladies and gentlemen, ready to see some Vanguard!" Joshua exclaimed as the crowd cheered back. "It's another day of fights for Blocks A & B, both blocks started with sixteen teams, but now each block only has four teams remaining, the winners of today's blocks will move on to the Block A & B semi-finals, now with that out of the way, let's begin the first fight!"

Joshua and Denton, then went to their booth as the first fight went underway, though it was close, one of the teams had managed to win and move on to the semi-finals.

"Was that a great fight or what folks, now we're moving to the last match today for Block A, in one corner we have Team Trinovol, and on the other corner, we have Team Shinobi, let's get this fight underway!" Joshua exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, that's what the name of the teams those mysterious ninjas were part of," Leroy said as the three of them entered the team's booth.

"They called themselves Team Shinobi, so they most likely use ninja-based clans, like the Murakumo or the Nubatama," Andrea noted. "Either way, I'm going first on this one, I've been dying to have a match since I saw your fights with Team Darkshroud,"

"We have our first fighters, for Team Trinovol, we have Andrea Rose, and for Team Shinobi, we have Hannah Rossiu!" Joshua announced as Andrea walked up to the stadium, and as she looked at her opponent, she was surprised to see who it was.

"It's you, you're the girl from before, I guess it makes sense, you did seem to know them," Andrea said as she prepared.

"Yup, I know them, but we're a bit, how might you say...different," Hannah said as she prepared herself as well.

"Different you say, I can't wait to see how," said Andrea.

"Fighters ready, begin!"

"Stand up my, Vanguard!"

"Dragon Starter, Mecca!" Andrea exclaimed.

Dragon Starter Mecca

Grade 0, Power: 4000

"Black Candle, Azrail!" Hannah exclaimed

Black Candle, Azrail

Grade 0, Power: 5000

Andrea gasped as she saw Hannah's starting unit. "Angel Feather, that's not a ninja-based clan at all!"

"Yeah, it's true, my clan isn't based on ninjas, but I'm not the leader of our team, so I sort of had no say in our team's name, our leader and my older brother are really into ninjas though, which is why they decided to call ourselves Team Shinobi," Hannah explained.

"I see, well I'm up first," Andrea said.

"With stride skill of Gavrail, I look at the top three cards of my deck, I send one card among them to the damage zone, the rest go to the bottom of my deck, I then call Maalik from the damage zone, add 2000 power to her," Hannah explained. "Now I use the skill of Phaleg in the damage zone, I counterblast and call her to the rear-guard, I then send the top card of my deck to the damage zone and add 2000 power to Phaleg!"

"Incredible, by using the main skill of the Angel Feather clan, Hannah is able to create a solid formation without even having to use her hand!" Joshua announced.

"That's not it, I then use Phaleg's Rescue!" Hannah exclaimed. "I recover one damage and inflict one damage on myself, alright, rescue check,"

[Rescue Check - Million Ray Pegasus(G2)]

"Darn, no trigger, no worries, I now use the skill of Zachariel, as long as I have a card face up in my damage zone, all the units is my front row get 3000 power, now with a boost from Maalik, Mastema attacks the vanguard, with Mastema's skill, add 3000 power!"

[Rescue Check - Happy Bell, Nociel (Stand Trigger)]

Turn 7: Hand[Andrea(3), Hannah(6)]

"Stand and draw, you may have gotten me to five damage, but you'd be wrong if you thought I was going to quit here," Andrea stated firmly.

Hannah then smirked at the ginger-haired girl's statement. "Alright then, you seem pretty confident, show me what you can do,"

"Liberating the generation zone!" Andrea exclaimed. "Now, generation stride! Gayle Force Dragonmaster, Horaciel!"

Gayle Force Dragonmaster, Horaciel

Grade 4, Power: 15000+

"With stride skill, I bind two cards from my drop zone, then from the bind zone I superior call Corruption Slayer, Lance and Dragon Mage of the Holy Flute, they both get an additional 5000 power, now with Holy Flute's boost, Lance attacks your vanguard, with Lance's Requiem, add another 5000 power!"

(19000+13000=33000)

"She didn't call anything out of her hand, she must want to save defense for my turn, smart girl," Hannah thought. "I don't guard that one, damage check,"

[Damage Check - Kind Care, Sartael(G1)]

Damage: [Andrea(5), Hannah(4)]

"Alright, with a boost from Zora, Horaciel is coming for your vanguard, now, the skill of Horaciel! Andrea exclaimed. "I bind the top card of my deck, then superior call Fiery Sword Dragon and Ongoing Dragon Scout, Yuza from my bind zone, Mecca retires!"

(26000+6000=32000)

"An impressive strategy, using your bind zone to make up for your lack of hand cards is a great idea, but still not good enough, complete guard with Arakiba!"

"I still have my triple drive,"

[Drive Check #1 - Unyielding Dragon Mage, Kiara(G1)]

[Drive Check #2 - Medicinal Dragon Mage, Mizu (Heal Trigger)]

"I really needed that, a heal trigger, one damage recovered, the power goes to Fiery Sword!"

[Drive Check #3 - Dragon Swordsman, Batu (Stand Trigger)]

"A stand trigger as well, all effects go to Lance, now Lance attacks Phaleg!"

(19000+5000=24000)

"Trying to mess with my formation aye, alright then, I don't guard, Phaleg retires," Hannah said.

Andrea let out a sigh of relief, seeing that Hannah's right column was empty. "With a boost from Yuza, Fiery Sword attacks your vanguard!"

(14000+7000=21000)

"Generation guard! Holy Seraph, Oriphiel!"

Holy Seraph, Oriphiel

Grade 4, Shield: 15000

"With her skill, since I have four or more damage, add 5000 to her shield," Hannah said as Andrea's attack was shut down.

Turn 8: Hand[Andrea(6), Hannah(3)]

"Stand and draw, you've played a great game Andrea, but I won't lose, I'm pulling out all the stops, behold my finisher, liberating the generation zone! Hannah exclaimed as she dropped a grade 3. "Pure white wings that bring me comfort in my saddest times, destroy all who stand before you with your gleaming light! Generation stride! Holy Seraph, Altiel!"

Holy Seraph, Altiel

Grade 4, Power: 15000+

Andrea watched as the angel descended on to the field, the light emanating from her was almost blinding, Andrea could only stand in awe. "Wow," were the only words that came out of her mouth.

"With stride skill, I look at the top three cards of my deck, send one to the damage zone and call Kind Care, Sartael from my damage zone, add 2000 power to her, I then call Nutrient Angel, I then send her to the soul and countercharge two cards, now I call Nurse of Broken Heart, here we go, skill of Altiel!" Hannah exclaimed. "For every Holy Seraph, Altiel face up in my G zone, I can perform a Rescue, due to the skills of Zachariel and Altiel, I have two Altiels face up, that means a double Rescue!"

"Shit, that won't be good," Andrea said.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, alright, twin Rescue check!"

[Rescue Check #1 - Thousand Ray Pegasus(G1)]

[Rescue Check #2 - Fever Therapy Nurse (Draw Trigger)]

"Nice, I draw, the power goes to Mastema, I then use the skill of Broken Heart, every time a card enters the damage zone, add 2000 power to herself and to the vanguard, since two cards entered the damage zone, add 4000 power to herself and Altiel," Hannah said.

"Your units are accumulating a nice amount of power," Andrea stated.

"Good thing I'm not done, I use Altiel's skill, I can counterblast a card and add 2000 power to my front row, I use her skill, and again, and one more time!" Hannah exclaimed as she used the skill three times.

"Incredible, Hannah has used up all of her counterblasts, she's completely thrown caution to the wind, it's a good thing for Andrea she pulled that heal trigger when she did, or she'd be in some seriously hot water!" Joshua announced.

"Now Mastema, attack the vanguard with Maalik's boost, with his skill, add 3000 power!"

(22000+7000=29000)

"I don't guard, damage check,"

[Damage Check - Dragon Maiden, Sasha(G3)]

Damage: [Andrea(5), Hannah(4)]

"With a boost from Azrail, Altiel attacks your vanguard!"

(36000+5000=41000)

"Don't let me down, Unyielding Dragon Mage, Kiara, quintet wall!" Andrea exclaimed as her vanguard's power rose to 41000. "I then guard with Batu!"

"Triple drive,"

[Drive Check #1 - Battle Cupid, Nociel(G1)]

[Drive Check #2 - Critical Hit Angel (Critical Trigger)]

"A critical trigger, all effects go to Broken Heart!"

[Drive Check #3 - Happy Bell, Nociel (Stand Trigger)]

"I got a stand trigger, all effects go to Mastema!"

"Amazing, ladies and gentlemen, the force of Hannah's will have granted her two triggers at this crucial moment, what do have to say about this, Denton!" Joshua exclaimed.

"Andrea has been put in a tough spot indeed, but there is a possibility she can still survive," Denton plainly responded.

"Mastema attacks your vanguard again, but since I have less damage than you, his skill won't activate,"

(19000+5000=24000)

"I guard!" Andrea exclaimed as she placed down two cards from her hand, leaving only two in her hand.

"This will finish it, with a boost from Sartael, Broken Heart attacks your vanguard!"

(24000+9000+33000)

"Generation guard! Nirvana Dragon Mage, Gabriel!"

Nirvana Dragon Mage, Gabriel

Grade 4, Shield: 15000

"With Gabriel's skill, I bind two cards from my deck, since I have five or more bound cards, add 5000 to the shield and intercept with Fiery Sword!"

"You managed to survive, I must say I'm surprised, my turn is over,"

Turn 9: Hand[Andrea(1), Hannah(5)]

"Stand and draw, you almost had me there Hannah, I was a bit scared," Andrea admitted.

"Thank you, it means a lot coming from you, I have what it takes to stand up to a new clan," Hannah said.

"You do, but there is where I win, my team is counting on me, I use Sasha's Generation Break, my front row rear-guards get 1000 power for every card in my bind zone, I currently have seven, so add 7000 power to Lance, now liberating the generation zone!" Andrea exclaimed as she dropped a grade 1 and 2 cards from her hand. "Illustrious musician that travels the world, play your tune, and entrance those around you! Generation stride! Melodious Dragon Bard, Mira!"

Melodious Dragon Bard, Mira

Grade 4, Power: 15000+

"With stride skill, I bind two cards from my drop zone, then I superior call Blue Flame Dragonmaster, Azure and Aid Dragon, Niercis, add 5000 power to both, Yuza retreats, with Niercis' Requiem, he obtains boost, with Niercis' boost, Azure attacks your vanguard!"

(14000+15000=29000)

"No guard, damage check,"

[Damage Check - Eradicate Celestial, Raviel (Heal Trigger)]

Damage: [Andrea(5), Hannah(5)]

"Well, that was a waste, you can't even recover," Andrea said.

A smile then came to Hannah's face. "True, but it's still a great pull, no recovery, the power to my vanguard, but that's not it, with Gavriel's Generation Break 2, when a card is put into my damage zone, add 2000 power to my front row, then with Broken Heart's skill, add another 2000 power to herself and the vanguard," Hannah explained as Gavrail's power rose to 20000.

"That's not going to be good, her vanguard's power went up by 9000, and it's still Andrea's turn, it'll be harder for attacks to make it now," Leroy said a bit worried, then Joel rested his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Relax, she'll be fine, I believe in her, she will win this," Joel said reassuringly.

"With a boost from Holy Flute, Lance attacks your vanguard, with his Requiem, add 5000 power to him!"

(21000+8000=29000)

"Guard!" Hannah exclaimed as she threw down a grade 0.

"I'm counting on you, with a boost from Zora, Mira attacks, the skill of Mira!" Andrea exclaimed. "For every card face up in my G zone, you must retreat a rear-guard you control, then for each card retired, I can call a card from my bind zone, I have three cards face up, so three of your rear-guards must retreat!"

"My entire back row retreats," Hannah said as her back row units vanished.

"From the bind zone, I call Thunderbolt Dragonmaster, Odin, Dragon Mage of the Holy Flute, and Holy Cannon Mage, Kion, add 5000 power to all three, with Odin's Requiem, draw two cards, with Kion's skill, add 5000 power to the front row!"

(31000+6000=37000)

"I guard with two cards, then intercept with Mastema, with the skill of Battle Cupid, Nociel, exchange a card from my hand with one in the damage zone, I just send back this heal trigger, with the skills of Gavrail and Broken Heart, add 4000 power to them both!" Hannah exclaimed.

"This isn't good, with that heal trigger, she can call a G guardian, but her vanguard's power is only 44000, if I can pull two triggers in my drive, I'll break through," Andrea thought. "Triple drive!"

[Drive Check #1 - Dragon Maiden, Sasha(G3)]

[Drive Check #2 - Max Power Drake (Draw Trigger)]

"A draw trigger, the power to Mira, I draw!"

"This has become quite the fight, Andrea has chosen to bet her last attack on Mira, if she can pull another trigger, she'll break through, the tension is killing me!" Joshua announced.

"Final check," Andrea said as the whole stadium held its breath as Andrea slowly revealed the top card of her deck.

[Drive Check #3 - Max Power Wyvern (Critical Trigger)]

"Yes, a critical trigger, all effects go to Mira, this match is mine!" Andrea exclaimed as Mira broke through Hannah's defense and struck Gavrail.

"Damage check,"

[Damage Check - Black Shiver, Gavrail(G3)]

Damage: [Andrea(5), Hannah(6)]

"It's over, though it was a tough battle, Andrea Rose of Team Trinovol has secured victory!" Joshua exclaimed.

"That was a great fight, Andrea," Hannah said.

"Likewise, if you ever wanna rematch, I'm ready," Andrea said back as they returned to their booths.

"That was awesome Andrea, I never doubted you for a second," Joel said.

"Thanks, but I have to admit that was close, if I didn't pull that trigger, I could've lost, this team is no pushover," Andrea said.

"That's great to know, I'm up next," Joel said. "I'll beat whoever they send and give us a perfect win, just watch me," he began to walk to the stadium with a smile on his face.
