"Come forth...My friend!" Azure declared, holding up a card, as it engulfed in a blue, ice-like light, before tossing the card, as Drakon seemed to past the baton to the spirit, disappearing himself, as Wolf appeared in all of his cyan glory. "Abyszard, Frostbite Wolf! Imaginary Gift: Force 1!" He said, filling up his last front row R with it. "Because of Agnos, I can stride for no cost! I release the Generation Zone!" Azure called out, as a vortex engulfed Wolf, as a young woman stepped out. "Abyszard of Will, Roya!" He started, before counterblasting. "Stride Skill! I look at the top 10 cards of my deck, and put Abyszard Prince on a rear guard circle!" Azure declared, tossing the card, as the youthful Prince appeared. "Add 5000 power, and 10000 from the Force marker!" Azure declared.
[POWER - 25000]
"In addition, Prince's effect activates! When he's placed by a card effect..." Azure said, turning another damage zone card facedown. "I place a card from my hand on a rear guard circle, and draw one card! I place Abyszard Sage, Frozen Magi!" He said, tossing the youthful magician behind Prince. "Both units get 5000 power!"
[POWER - 30000]
[POWER - 13000]
"Frozen Magi's effect." Azure added, counterblasting. "From my deck, I take a unit that is a lower grade than my Vanguard, and place it on a Rear guard circle." Azure said, tossing Lou to the last open front row spot. "Abyszard Legacy, Lou. Her effect activates." Azure added, soulblasting. "I counter charge 1, and Lou gains 3000 power, and an acquired Frostbite from Frozen Magi, 5000 power, and 10000 from the Force marker."
[POWER - 28000]
"Abyszard of Will, Roya's effect!" Azure added, flipping another copy of it face-up, and counterblasting. "I add one Order from my deck to my hand! I add Desperation to my hand!" He said, as the card flew into his hand.
"He didn't add Frostbite Burst..?" Kyros wondered.
"Then, from my hand, I superior call Abyszard Disciple! Add 4000 power, and since I called a unit with 'Abyszard' in their name, add 1 drive!" Azure declared, calling the younger girl behind Lou.
[POWER - 8000]
"Abyszard of Will, Roya's Generation Break 3! For each face down card in my damage zone, My front row gains 2000 power!" Azure added, as Roya engulfed the front row with energy.
"There's five face-down cards in your damage zone." Alon observed.
[Roya - 48000]
[Prince - 40000]
[Lou - 38000]
"He's filling his board with his deck without calling, and reinforcing it to boot. That's the way, Azure!" Drake called out.
"Lou, attack the vanguard on your own!" Azure called out, as Lou held out her hand, as icicles blasted towards Titus, without a booster.
[POWER - 38000]
"Oh?" Alon asked, surprised.
If he's not resting a booster, that must mean... Alon deduced, before speaking up. "No Guard." He called out, as Titus was hit.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Blue Torrent, Bubble Dracokid [G0]]
"Lou's Frostbite 3!" Azure added, as Lou went into the soul. "From the top 3 cards of my deck, I put Abyszard Legacy, Martin on the R circle Lou was on!" Azure declared, as the young man appeared. "Add 4000 power! 10000 from the Force marker, and 10000 from Roya!" Azure added.
[POWER - 34000]
"With no boost, Prince, attack the Vanguard next!" Azure called, as the Prince rushed forward, and aimed a blast right at Titus.
[POWER - 40000]
"Once more, no guard..!" Alon declared, as Titus took the hit.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Blue Torrent, Fanfare Dracokid [G0 - Front Trigger]]
"Front Trigger!" Alon declared, Azure looking slightly surprised, but he counterblasted and moved Prince into the soul.
"Prince's Generation Break 2. After he attacks, If I've placed 2 or more units by card effects this turn, I draw one card." Azure said, drawing. "Martin, attack the Vanguard next!" Azure declared, as Martin blasted at Titus. "Martin's Generation Break 2, Frostbite 3!" Azure added, counterblasting. "I look at the top 4 cards of my deck, and superior call one of them! Come, Abyszard Squire!" Azure said, tossing the card to the empty front row spot. "Add 4000 power! 10000 from the force marker, and since more cards in my damage zone were turned facedown, more power to Martin and Squire!" Azure declared.
[Martin - 38000]
[Squire - 38000]
"Just one more damage, Azure! You can do it!" Kyros cheered.
"Guard, and Intercept!" Alon declared, as a mermaid got in the way, and Blue rushed to the defense as well.
[GUARD - Blue Torrent, Idol Siren [G0 - 15000]]
[INTERCEPT - Blue Torrent, Blue [G2 - 5000]]
[TOTAL - 42000]
"Roya attacks your Vanguard!" Azure declared, resting his vanguard, as the girl blasted forward with icicles.
[POWER - 52000] [DRIVE - 4]
"Complete Guard." Alon declared, tossing a card into the drop zone as well.
[GUARD - Blue Torrent, Savior Dracokid [G0 - Complete Guard]]
"In that case, Quad Drive..!" Azure said, the top 4 cards of his deck flipping up.
[DRIVE CHECK - Arctic Pengu [G1]]
[DRIVE CHECK - Abyszard Heart [G0 - Heal Trigger]]
"Heal Trigger..! I recover one damage, and give the power to Squire!" Azure declared.
[DRIVE CHECK -Abyszard Heart [G0 - Heal Trigger]]
"Another Heal Trigger..! Azure can afford to take 2 more damage..!" Kyros said.
"But he lost two facedown cards in his damage zone." Drake said.
[DRIVE CHECK - Abyszard Magi [G1]]
At that, Roya's attack was bounced off.
Looks like I didn't get a stand trigger to stand Martin with...In that case. Azure thought, resting Squire and Frozen Magi. "Squire, Frozen Magi, attack the Vanguard!" Azure called out.
[POWER - 47000]
"Guarding Siren's effect! Wave! Since this is your 3rd battle or more, I can move her to the guardian circle! Then, If it's your 4th battle or more, add 5000 to the shield!" Alon said, as the siren got in front of Titus.
[INTERCEPT - Blue Torrent, Guarding Siren [G1 - 15000]]
"Then, guard." Alon said, tossing a card.
[GUARD - Blue Torrent, Idol Siren [G0 - 15000]]
[TOTAL - 52000]]
"...I end my turn." Azure said, as he held his hand out. "At the end of the turn, since Disciple was placed by a card effect, I return her to the deck, and shuffle the drop zone into my deck." He said, as the cards that were his returned to the deck, and Drake and Kyros' went back to their respective decks. "Then, If I placed units by card effects 3 or more times this turn, I draw one card, and counter charge 1." Azure said.

"My turn." Alon declared, drawing, before riding another Titus, acquiring the gift, and then tossing a card into the drop zone. "I release the Generation Zone." Alon declared, before holding up a card in his hand. "The storms will never forget your name! Become the legendary waves that wash away all others! Generation Stride!" He called out, as a cyan dragon with ocean blue outlines appeared, howling with enough force to cause ripples in the water around the arena. "Blue Torrent, Tsunami Ripper Dragon!" Alon declared, before counterblasting and soulblasting Blue out. "Stride Skill. I draw one card, and superior call Osmios from my hand. I add 5000 power, and a skill." Alon said, as a second elder soldier appeared on the Accel circle. "Osmios' effect activates." Alon added, soulblasting. "From the top 7 cards of my deck, I call Blue Torrent, Speed Gun Dracokid to an Accel Circle. "Add 4000 power." He said, as the Accel circle also empowered the Grade 1 with no shield value.
[POWER - 18000]
"Blue Torrent, Bubble Ripple Dragon's Generation Break 2." Alon added, counterblasting again. "I superior call Blue from the drop zone." He said, as Blue re-appeared on the last Accel 2 circle. "Then, if my Vanguard has 'Titus' in it's name, add 10000 power."
[POWER - 24000]
"In addition, I call Guarding Siren. Then, use Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect." Alon said, soulblasting Loving Siren out, and flipping another copy of it face-up. "I superior call Loving Siren from the drop zone, and my Vanguard acquires a skill." He told Azure, before resting Raging Siren. "Raging Siren attacks, and this will be the first. Wave." He declared. "Because it's the first battle, add 8000 power! In addition, Tsunami Ripper Dragon's other effect! When a unit with the Wave ability attacks, it gains 1000 power for each battle that's been conducted this turn!" Alon said, Azure's eyes slightly widening, as a small red aura engulfed Raging Siren, the Accel circle empowering them farther.
[POWER - 22000]
"No guard..!" Azure said, as a card flew into his damage zone.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Crystal Dragon [G3]]
"Osmios can attack from the back row, as well. So the one in the back attacks next. This will be the second! Osmios' wave, the second! Add 10000 power! In addition, Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect! This is the second battle, so this time 2000 power will be added!" Alon declared.
[POWER - 21000]
"Again, no guard..!" Azure said, staggering back from the impact to Wolf.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Arctic Pengu [G1]]
"8 damage...3 more to go." Alon said, before resting another unit. "Blue attacks your Vanguard. The third. With his Wave, he gains 5000 power, in addition to the Accel Circle. Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect. This is the third battle, so 3000 more power will be added." Alon declared.
[POWER - 22000]
"No guard..!" Azure called again, as the blast knocked him to the ground, as well as Wolf.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Abyszard Squire [G2]]
"9 damage..." Azure noticed, getting up, as Alon rested another unit.
"The Osmios that was called by the stride skill attacks. The fourth. With the stride skill's Wave, you cannot guard this attack with just one unit. In addition, Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect. This is the fourth battle, so 4000 power will be added. In addition, Osmios' Wave!" Alon reminded.
[POWER - 33000]
"No guard..!" Azure called, taking the hit again, being tossed to the ground by the sheer windforce of the attack as well, Wolf falling over as well.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Abyszard Sage, Frozen Magi [G1]]
"Azure..!" Mira called out, worriedly.
"Why won't he guard..?" An audience member asked. "Is he crazy? Or...Is he finally giving up? Maybe he realized Star Titan was too strong for them..." They said.
"No...Azure isn't the type of person to give up..!" Mira said to them.
"Oh? And what would you do in this situation? He's one damage away from being pummeled, and Alon is nowhere near done with his attacks!" The crowd member said, Mira flinching.
"W-Well, maybe he could..." Mira started, before Azure stood back up.
"It's alright, you're absolutely right. I'm not the type of person to give up on a fight. Even if the odds are against me...My team...my friends...They're counting on me, counting on me to lead the way for us to take our first steps, and rank up. I will not let their call go unanswered..!" Azure declared.
"I see...That's a very admirable spirit." Alon complimented. "I knew I was right to feel kinship with you. So show me, Azure Cova! Show me how you'll answer their call!" He declared. "Due to the stride skill, Osmios stands, but loses the guarding clause! Then, my rear guard Titus attacks Wolf! Titus' Wave! 10000 power is added, and since this is the 4th battle or more, Titus also gains an extra critical!" Alon called out. "In addition, Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect! This is the fifth battle!" Alon added, as Titus powered up.
[POWER - 27000] [CRITICAL - 2]
I've gotten as many damage zone cards as I can manage...Now I just have to survive the turn! Azure thought, tossing a card. "Guard!" He called, as a familiar assassin got in the way.
[GUARD - Arctic Assassin, Blue [G0 - 15000]]
[TOTAL - 28000]
"Then Tsunami Ripper Dragon will attack. The sixth! In addition, Their effect! This is the sixth battle! In addition, Blue's effect! When a Vanguard with 'Titus' in it's name attacks, If this is the 5th battle or more, Blue stands!" Alon declared, as the dragon empowered itself.
[POWER - 33000]
"Complete guard..! Blizzard Stormer, Abyszard Gardragon!" Azure called out, as the cyan dragon got in the way, forming a barrier around Wolf and Azure, as the waves around the arena started to grow more violent.
"A stand trigger sentinel..?" Alon asked, surprised, before holding his hand out. "In any case...Triple Drive!" He called out, as the top three cards appeared.
[DRIVE CHECK - Blue Torrent, Savior Dracokid [G0 - Draw Trigger]]
"Draw Trigger." Alon called out, as Tsunami Ripper engulfed in a brown aura. "I give the power to my Vanguard."
[DRIVE CHECK - Blue Torrent, Idol Siren [G0 - Stand Trigger]]
"Stand Trigger. I give the power to my rear guard Titus...and stand the Osmios in my back row!" Alon said, Azure raising a confused eyebrow.
[DRIVE CHECK - Blue Torrent Lord, Titus [G3]]
"After the battle Tsunami Ripper Dragon attacked, If they did not hit, Generation Break 4! Wave!" Alon declared, discarding 3 cards in his hand. "The skill that Tsunami Ripper Dragon gave itself! Tsunami Ripper Dragon stands, and gains 2000 power for each battle that took place this turn, but gets drive minus 3!" Alon declared, as the dragon roared again.
[POWER - 49000]
"His Vanguard stood..!" Azure said, shocked, before noticing another Rear guard coming at Wolf.
"The Osmios in the back row attacks again..! The seventh! Wave! 10000 power, and this is the seventh battle, so Tsunami Ripper gives Osmios 7000 power!" Alon declared.
[POWER - 26000]
"Guard..!" Azure called out, tossing a card, as a young woman got in the way.

"I release the Generation Zone!" Azure called out, tossing a heal trigger into the drop zone, as the pair of Penguin knights came out. "Generation Guard! Glacier Knights, Pengu Trio! Their Frostbite 2 activates! Shield plus 10000!" He called out, as the shield got bigger. "In addition, Guard!" Azure added, tossing a card, as Lou hopped in the way to increase the shield as well.

"He's actually fighting back..!" An audience member said, shocked.
"N-Now now, he could just be running out of steam! After all, there's still some standing units left..!" Another one said, as Alon rested a unit.
"The Osmios on the Accel circle! The tenth! Add 10000 power with Tsunami Ripper Dragon! In addition, 10000 from their own Wave!" Alon declared.
[POWER - 34000]
"I release the Generation Zone again!" Azure declared, tossing another heal trigger, as the penguin knights appeared again. "Come back, Glacier Knights, Pengu Trio! Frostbite, 10000 shield!" He called, as the shield grew bigger and protected the two.

Alon declared, as the Vanguard rushed forward again with a concerningly powerful stream of water, as Azure...tossed a heal trigger into the drop zone. "A third heal trigger..?!" Alon asked, shocked, as Azure held out a card.
[POWER - 61000]
"I release the Generation Zone! Transcend time, and protect your descendants! Generation Guard!" Azure called out, as a more mature looking version of Prince came out. "Time-Transcending Bond, Abyszard King! Their effect activates! Frostbite 3!" Azure declared, counterblasting and flipping another copy of Pengu Trio face-up. "I call up to one card from my hand to rear guard!" Azure said, tossing Abyszard Squire to a rear guard circle. "Then...All cards on my circles other than V move to the Guardian circle!" He declared, Alon's eyes slightly widening, as Squire, Frozen Magi, and the second Squire all rushed to protect the Vanguard alongside the king. "Then, all of my guardians except King gain 5000 shield!" Azure called out.

"He...he blocked it..!" A crowd member said in sheer disbelief.
"But his hand's in shreds..." Another member pointed out, as Alon nodded.
"It would appear that there's not much left." Alon said, referring to the Grade 3 that had yet to declare an attack. "Bubble Ripple Dragon attacks with a boost from Guarding Siren. The thirteenth. This will be the last attack. Tsunami Ripper Dragon's effect. This is the 13th battle." He reminded, as Azure held up a card that engulfed in light.
[POWER - 33000]
"...Blitz Order, activate..!" Azure called out, Alon's eyes slightly widening.
"A Blitz order at this time..?!" Alon asked, as Azure soulblasted.
"Desperation! I superior call one card from the drop zone to my Guardian circle..! If I have five or more damage, I can superior call two, instead..! Come! Abyszard Heart, Abyszard Legacy, Lou..!" Azure said, as a vortex opened, as the two units leapt back up and formed a shield.
[GUARD - Abyszard Heart [G0 - 20000]]

[TOTAL - 38000]
"That's the order he added to his hand with Roya's effect earlier..." Drake realized. "He was expecting to need defense more than offense..." he said.
"No way..! He survived 13 attacks..?!" A crowd member asked in shock, as Alon seemed to smile at that.
"...Now I know for sure I was right about you. Surviving 13 attacks...That's not an easy feat. I end my turn."

I only have one card in my hand...and no rear guards...I don't know how I'm going to rebuild my formation this way... Azure thought to himself. I survived, but...is this as far as I go..? Azure wondered. Even if I attack with my Vanguard, he has a sentinel in his hand, and two units that can intercept...For the sake of victory, he may even be willing to throw them away... He realized. I can't defend that many attacks next turn...I have to do something this turn, but what I draw may end up deciding my fate... Azure thought.
"My...turn...!" Azure said, weakly, as he drew, and looked at it.
Another copy of Wolf, but I don't need the Stride cost... Azure thought to himself, before closing his eyes. I...can't do it...I'm sorry, guys... He thought to himself. Even Released Spectrum Dragon won't help me... He thought to himself, before hearing a voice.
"You can't give up so easily!" Wolf called out to Azure, as his eyes opened in surprise immediately as he heard it, Wolf looking back at him directly.
Wolf..? But what can I do? Is there...really a way? Azure mentally responded, before seeing the spirits of Lou, Prince, and Martin appear.
"There's always a way!" Martin told Azure.
"You can't give up until your damage zone reaches that last card..! As long as you believe...Even miracles can happen!" Lou told Azure.
"So if you can't believe in yourself...Believe in Wolf, and believe in us..! Even if you don't imagine yourself as the vanguard...You're still what leads us to victory!" Prince told Azure, the rest of the units nodding, before fading away, Azure looking shocked, before noticing his G Zone glowing.
"Are you alright..? You've been standing there for a minute." Alon asked, concerned. "If you need a minute to think, I understand, but you should say so." He said.
"No...I'm alright now. Sorry." Azure said, reaching for the card in his G Zone, as it engulfed in a multicolored light, as his Psyqualia flared up...as a ray of light started tracing cards in Azure's mind. "I see it now...The way to turn this around! Come forth once more, my friend!" Azure called out, as he took a card in his hand and rode it, as a pillar engulfed Wolf, as it howled with even more energy. "Abyszard Frostbite Wolf! Imaginary Gift: Force 1!" He declared, tossing the marker on his Vanguard circle again. "With Agnos, I don't have to pay the stride cost..!" Azure declared, as his psyqualia flared up even more, glowing with a bright cyan light, Alon looking surprised to see it, as Azure held his hand up, a pillar of multicolored light engulfing Wolf, surprising the entire crowd. "Seize the future, and soar on the wings of your bonds! Generation Stride!" Azure called out, as Wolf stepped out, but was now white in color, with cyan outlines...and angelic, cyan wings were now on their back. "Neo-Abyszard, Wolf 'Hope-Soul'!" He called out, as Wolf howled with enough force to make the water ripple as well. "I don't use the stride skill!" Azure also declared, before holding his hand up. "Hope-Soul's effect activates!" Azure added, counterblasting and turning another Hope-Soul face-up. "For each face-up card in my G Zone with the Frostbite ability, I put up to one card with the Frostbite ability from my deck onto a rear guard circle, and send any other card that was there before to the drop zone!" Azure called out, as Wolf spread their wings, as it engulfed in multicolored lights.
"Three Pengu Trio, one Abyszard King, and Roya...That's more than 5 cards with the Frostbite ability..!" Alon realized. "You'll get to fill your rear guard circles with just your deck..?" Alon asked, as Azure held his hand out.
"That's right..! This is Wolf's effect! Liberation Wing! He called out, as 5 spheres of light filled the field. "Abyszard Prince! Abyszard Legacy, Lou! Abyszard Disciple! Abyszard Sage, Frozen Magi! Abyszard Magi!" Azure called out, as all 5 of his rear guard spots were filled. "Then, if I have 5 rear guards, all of my units gain 5000 power, and their Frostbite ability is reduced by 1 this turn!" Azure declared, as all of his units engulfed in multicolored energy.
[Wolf - 53000]
[Prince - 25000]
[Lou - 25000]
[Disciple - 9000]

"What a powerful Psyqualia...The bond with his units created a new light..." Alon commented.
"With a boost from Squire, Hope-Soul attacks your Vanguard!" Azure called out, as Wolf leapt up into the air, and soared with their wings, letting out a multicolored blast.
Even if I use my complete guard here, I'll be annihilated by his rear guards. My best bet here is to... Alon thought, before speaking up. "No Guard." He declared.
"Triple Drive..!" Azure declared, as the top 3 cards of his deck appeared.
[DRIVE CHECK - Blizzard Stormer, Abyszard Gardragon [G0 - Stand Trigger]]
"Stand Trigger..! I stand Squire, and give the power to my Vanguard!" Azure declared, as the Sentinel flew into his hand.
[DRIVE CHECK - Arctic Assassin, Blue [G0 - Critical Trigger]]
"Critical Trigger..! I give all effects to Wolf!" Azure said, revealing the last card.
[DRIVE CHECK - Crystal Dragon [G3]]
At that, the blast knocked Titus to the ground, as well as Alon, who seemed to smile.
"...Looks like you'll get your wish, Astra." He commented, as Astra simply helped him up.
"Oh, my..! Ladies and gentlemen, the last relay of the fight..! Astra of Team Star Titan, but can Azure muster the strength to fight their last member?!" The announcer asked, as the crowd was going wild with excitement.
"The leaders are facing off..!" A crowd member said. "I don't know how this is going to end..! I don't even know who to root for!" They admitted, as Astra stepped up.
"Because I do not use an Accel clan, the gift markers, and units on them, go to the Drop Zone." Astra said, simply. "I acquire the Imaginary Gifts as Force 1, and place all of them on my Vanguard circle." Astra said, simply, tossing the cards.
"...At the end of my turn, Squire's effect. I return it, and my drop zone to the deck, and draw 1 card and counter charge 1." Azure said.
"He put his 3 heal triggers back in the deck..!" Mira realized, smiling.

"Oh, my! Astra has declared final turn on Azure, and before she's even ridden! Ladies and Gentlemen, will she succeed, or will Azure fend them off?!" The announcer asked, as Astra tossed a card to the Vanguard circle.
"Ride. Staredeemer, Cosmic Tranquil Dragon." Astra declared, as a pure white dragon with a holy aura appeared. "Imaginary Gift: Force 1." She added, tossing it to her Vanguard circle as well. "Long ago, while Messiah and Gyze were at war...Another evil took advantage, and ravaged Cray." Astra told Azure, her own psyqualia flaring up, just like his, surprising him. "However, 6 valiant warriors sealed it away...for a time, as the six warriors also were lost throughout Cray...However, I will now show you. I will show you the return of the Guardians!" Astra declared, before tossing another Tranquil Dragon into the drop zone. "At the same cost of my Vanguard! I release the Generation Zone!" Astra declared, as a large shockwave formed in the center, Azure staggering back. "Should this G Unit return to my G Zone, My G Zone leaves the game until the fight is over." She declared.
"Your G Zone is excluded from the game if you return that unit..?!" Azure asked, surprised.
"Manifest, the savior of Star Gate! Ultimate Stride!" Astra declared, as a white vortex opened in the sky, as a bright white knight with two swords, and gleaming armor descended. "Guardian of the Fallen Star...Cliamh!" She declared, as the five force markers already empowered it.
[POWER - 88000]
"Ultimate...Stride...?" Azure asked, shocked.
"Tranquil Dragon's Stride Skill." Astra added, counterblasting. "Lock one of your units." She told Azure, who looked surprised.
"Link Joker..." Azure realized, before locking Abyszard Magi, as a red sphere locked it into a card.
"Then, Cliamh's effect!" Astra declared, counterblasting twice. "For this turn, none of my other units are allowed to attack, but I discard up to 3 cards from my hand." Astra said, before revealing all 3 cards in her hand, as they disappeared.
"She discarded her entire hand..!" A crowd member said in shock.
"For each card discarded, Cliamh gains 10000 Power, and an extra Critical! Star Gather!" Astra called out, as the knight engulfed in multicolored energy three times.
[POWER - 118000] [CRITICAL - 4]
"However, if I discarded even 1 card, Cliamh gets drive minus 3. However, Cliamh acquires two skills! When it attacks, I draw one card. Then, It stands after attacking, up to the number of cards I discarded, minus 1!" Astra told Azure, who paled in surprise.
"She discarded 3 cards, and considering Cliamh already has one attack...It's going to attack Azure for 118,000 power, with 4 critical, three times." Drake said, Kyros looking shocked.
"That's insane..!" Kyros said, as Astra rested the unit.
"Cliamh, attack Wolf." Astra declared, as Azure tossed a card.
"Complete Guard..! Blizzard Stormer, Abyszard Gardragon!" Azure called out, as Gardragon formed a barrier that cracked immediately upon impact.
"Then the second one will finish you. Cliamh!" Astra called out, as the unit stood, and swung their blades at Wolf again, as smoke filled the area from impact, everyone shouting in surprise at the recoil.
"Hmph. As I expected." Astra said, starting to turn around, before noticing her Neo-Fight system was still on, and turned around, and looked slightly surprised.
"Complete...Guard...Blizzard Stormer, Abyszard Gardragon..!" Azure said, as the second Gardragon endured the hit, before disappearing, even Wolf looking exhausted.
"Tch..! I didn't expect you to have a second one in your hand..." Astra admitted.
"But...It's over..." Drake said, looking at the ground, Kyros looking over in confusion. "Cliamh still has one more attack...and Azure has only one card in his hand." He told Kyros, who realized it, as Mira also seemed saddened to see it, as Cliamh raised their sword again.
"...Maybe I was quick to judge, but as you are now...You have a long way to go. So for now...Cliamh. Finish this." Astra said, simply, as this time, the sword struck true, as Wolf was destroyed, and the recoil sent Azure sprawling to the ground, shouting in pain, as the top card flew into his damage zone.
[DAMAGE CHECK - Abyszard Frostbite Wolf [G3]]
"L-Ladies and gentlemen...The winner...is Team Star Titan!" The announcer declared, as the crowd was too shocked to say anything, as Astra simply picked up her cards, as Alon and Victor did the same, as Azure just stayed on the ground.
"Azure..!" Drake said, rushing over to him, Kyros doing the same.
I failed... was all Azure could think, before his vision started to fade to black.
