A few days after the previous chapter, on a clear and sunny morning, Yui skips along the street heading toward her and Alex's favorite bakery. Today was the day the two of them, including Rina, start team training. Yui arrives at the bakery and looks over the various pastries on display. "Ah Yui! One of my favorite customers!" she hears a voice call out to her. She looks up to see a rather large older gentleman, wearing chef clothes, greeting her, "You're not with Alex today?" he asks.
"No. I came here especially early to make sure I can get the croquettes Alex's loves so much." Yui tells the man as he steps behind the counter.
"Ah of course." The man says as he leans down to pull some croquettes from the display and puts them into a small paper bag, "You're such a sweet little thing Yui. You always know what makes your friends happy." Yui smiles innocently and blushes a little at his comment.
"Give me four this time, I have some others I want to share these with." She tells him and he complies.
"Anything for my favorite customer." The man says. When he finishes packing the treats into the bag, he rolls up the end and hands it to Yui, "Here you go young lady."
Yui takes the bag from him and pays for the pastries with change out of her pocket. "Thank you again!" she thanks him as she runs off into the distance, "Alex is going to love these!"
Opening Theme – ZERO! (Devil is a Part-Timer opening)
Drive 13 – The Bermuda Princess
Yui continues to run down the street in a full sprint, but she quickly notices the person standing in front of her "Ah! Look out! I can't stop!" she screams, but it's too late. As that person turns around, the two of them collide head on, knocking both of them to the ground. "Owie…" Yui groans as she rubs her tailbone, "Sorry… are you ok?" but when she sits up, all she sees is a pair of pink striped panties under that person's skirt.
"Ugh… watch where you're going…" the young lady says as she picks herself up and notices Yui sitting in front of her, "Yui…?"
"Rina…?!" Yui exclaims in surprise.
Rina stands up and takes Yui's hand to pull her to her feet. "Where were you off to in such a hurry?" she asks.
"I was on my way to Alex's place to pick her up for our training today." Yui explains with a smile.
Something then clicks in Rina's head and she says, "Oh right… that's today…"
"Here," Yui says and reaches into the paper bag, "I bought some Croquettes for us all, including you." She hands Rina a croquette for her to snack on, "These are Alex's favorite kind."
Rina hesitates for a moment and says, "My mom told me the croquettes at the local bakery are really good." And takes the pastry from Yui. She bites off the end of it and is immediately entranced by the lovely flavor it has, making her eyes light up with joy. "It's amazing! My mom was right! They really are good!" she says in a much higher pitched voice than normal.
Yui looks at Rina with a confused face, "Um… Rina…?" she asks.
"Oh!" Rina exclaims, quickly swallowing her bite and beats her chest while clearing her throat, "Yeah… it's really good." She says in her normal voice, before noticing Yui grab her arm.
"Come on, let's go get Alex!" she says and drags Rina down the street with her.
"Hey wait! Slow down!" Rina exclaims as she runs along with Yui.
The two of them later arrive at the Shindou residence and Yui rings the doorbell for Alex to answer the door a few seconds later. Alex was wearing her typical t-shirt, but no vest, as well as wearing a pair of black shorts with orange rims, and was also barefoot. "Yui? Rina?"
"Good morning Alex you said it was training day today." Yui tells her.
Alex then stares at them awkwardly "Oh yeah, that was today wasn't it…?" Alex says, scratching the back of her head, "Sorry you guys, my mom needs help around the house today, so I unfortunately won't be able to make it."
"O-Oh…" Yui says, taken aback my Alex's statement, "Why did you text me then?"
"I was going to earlier, but I forgot… Sorry Yui." She explains, "But you guys don't need me to train. You'll be just fine without me."
Disappointed, Yui mutters, "O-Okay…" She then holds up the bag to Alex, "But I got you a croquette.
"Oh! Thanks Yui." Alex thanks her as she takes one of the fried rolls from the bag, "Sorry again I won't be able to make it to training. Let's all meet at Card Capital 2 after school tomorrow."
"Ok…" Yui mutters, still disappointed. The three of them say their goodbyes and Alex shuts the door. "So what now…?"
"You do whatever you want. I'm leaving." Rina says as she walks off.
"Ah! Rina wait!" Yui exclaims trying to stop her, "Can't we at least train together like Alex suggested?"
"I'm not in the mood for this right now Yui…" Rina tells her with her hair casting a shadow over her eyes, "I've got a lot of things on my mind right now, so I need some time to think." She explains, with the thoughts of what had happened to her still lingering in the back of her mind. (see Drive 12)
"A-Alright…" Yui mutters again as she watches Rina walk off.
Later at Card Capital 2, Yui sits on the couch under the window, leaning forward and looking at the floor as she eats her croquette, little bites at a time. "Something wrong Yui?" Taiyou asks her as he carries a large box from the back room to the front.
Yui hesitates to answer, but looks up at Taiyou with a gloomy face and replies, "Alex, Rina, and I was supposed to start training today, but Alex is busy helping her mom and Rina just left…" and takes another bite of her croquette.
Taiyou thinks for a moment and sets the box on the counter as he walks up to put a hand on Yui's shoulder, "Come on, hold your chin up. Just because your friends weren't able to come today, doesn't mean you should just sit around and gloom." He tells her.
"But it won't be as fun without them…" Yui adds, "It's also the first time I've really been away from Alex… We've been together since childhood, now it feels weird on my own…"
Taiyou thinks for a moment, until he hears the front door open, "Welcome." He says to the person and is surprised by who he sees, as well as everyone else in the shop.
In the door way, stands a girl with short, pale blue hair and green eyes, wearing a green tank top over a black t-shirt, blue skirt, and white sneakers. She pulls her hair back and glances around the shop and says, "It sure feels good to be back."
"S-Saki?!" Taiyou exclaims and gets up to greet her, "I haven't seen you since Alex's fight with Yusuke. What brings you back here?"
"I have a few days of free time in between tournaments," She tells him, "so I thought I'd came here to relax a little." She then glances at the counter, "Do you have any new Bermuda Triangle packs?"
"Actually, a shipment just came in today. Let me get some for you." Taiyou tells her and goes behind the counter and pulls some packs out of the box he was carrying.
Meanwhile, Yui sits on the couch watching this exchange take place, "Saki Tagushi…?! From Team Exodus?!" she thinks to herself in shock.
Taiyou hands Saki some packs as she pays for them, "Thank you Taiyou." She says. She then glances over to see Yui on the couch, who tries to look away like she wasn't staring at Saki, "You look familiar, have we met?" she asks her.
Knowing Saki is talking directly to her, Yui looks back in a panic. "Ah, Do I don't think so. I mean… how could you remember someone as plane as me?" She says and puts her hands in her lap in embarrassment, "Especially since we have the daughters of two legends frequently coming here…"
"Daughters of legends?" Saki questions and thinks for a moment. Then suddenly, the wires connect in her brain with a snap of her fingers, "Oh! You're Alex's friend huh?"
"H-How'd you know?" Yui asks, surprised by her query.
"I remember you from that day she fought Yusuke," Saki tells her, "you were celebrating with her after she won." She squats down to look at her eye-to-eye, "So why the long face? Your friend beat one of the strongest fighters in existence."
Yui hesitates for a moment and explains to her, "Well… Alex and I were supposed to have team training today, but she has to help her mom with chores. So now I'm here all by myself."
Saki thinks to herself for a moment and stands up asking, "Why don't we train together?"
"EHHHH?!" Yui exclaims, "M-M-Me… fight you?!"
"Yeah," Saki tells her, "that way, win or lose, you can say you at least got to fight a champion."
"B-But… I'd probably be no match for you." Yui tells her, "I can't even win against Alex."
"That's no problem." Saki reassures her, "Like I said, win or lose, you can at least say you got to fight me. Not many who don't partake in tournaments get this honor." Saki then pulls out her deck, "Also, if you do beat me, you could consider yourself even with Alex."
"Even…" Yui repeats in thought. She finally decides to stand up and look at Saki square, "You're on!" She says and pulls out her deck and Saki smiles.
The two move to a fight table as many people start talking about Saki and the fight that's about to happen. "Do you want me to go easy on you or go all out?" Saki asks Yui.
Yui hesitates for a moment and says, "No… don't hold anything back!"
"Alright," Saki replies with a shrug, "but don't say I didn't warn you." Then, they both say simultaneously, "Stand up… VANGUARD!"
"Pure Gift, Aliche (G0/6000)!" Yui declares.
"First Note, Aria (G0/5000)." Saki declares.
"Bermuda Triangle?" Yui asks, surprised by the clan.
"Whoa! The Bermuda Princess is actually fighting here! I'm so lucky to be able to see this!" a random boy says in the crowd.
"Bermuda Princess?!" Yui questions over hearing him.
"I'll go first." Saki says as she takes a card from her hand, "Ride! Second Verse, Sonia (G1/8000)! I move Aria to the back right circle with Forerunner. Due to Aria's skill, while on a rear-guard circle, she gains 1 grade (G0-1/5000). I end my turn."
"My turn! Ride! Special Message, Ourora (G1/8000)! Using Aliche's skill draw a card. Next, Ourora's skill! I draw a card and discard a card in my hand." Yui discards a grade 3. "Next I call Top Star Cier (G1/8000)! Using her skill (Soul 1-0). I look at the top 7 cards of my deck and add a card with Melody among them to my hand. Boosted by Cier, Ourora attacks your Vanguard (8000-16000)!" (Saki: []).
Saki draws a card and begins her turn, "Ride! Third Chorus, Serenity (G2/10000). Using her skill, (Soul 1-0). I look at the top 7 cards of my deck and add a unit with the Symphony ability from among them to my hand."
"Symphony?" Yui questions.
"I call Friends with the Fish, Rimi (G2/10000) and Shapely Eyes, Ruhe (G2/10000). I now call Carmine Jewel Vista (G1/7000). Using her skill, Rimi gains boost until the end of the turn. I retire Vista and call Happiness Swimming, Sophia (G1/8000) and Attractive Glow, Sandy (G2/9000)!"
Board State
(G2/9000) (G2/10000) (G2/10000)
(G1/8000) (G2/10000) (G1/5000)
"You've already got a full board?!" Yui exclaims, surprised by her actions.
"No harm in going full force off the bat." Saki says in a teasing voice, "Boosted by Aria, Ruhe attacks the Vanguard (10000-15000)! Using Aria's Symphony 10!"
"Wait, what's that?!" Yui asks.
"Symphony is an ability that I can use whenever the total grade of my units is equal to or greater than a specific number. With Aria, since she has Symphony 10, and the total grade of all my units is 10, I can discard a card to search my deck for a grade 3 or 4 unit and add it to my hand."
Yui panics for a moment, then calls a card from her hand, "Guard (Shield: 10000)!"
"Boosted by Rimi, Serenity attacks (10000-20000)! Using Serenity's Symphony 8!" Saki points at Yui with a finger gun, "Add 15000 power and if the total grade is 10 or more, draw a card as well (20000-35000). Drive Check on top of that, (Draw (Sentinel)). Draw Trigger. Power to Sandy and draw (9000-19000)." (Yui: []) "Boosted by Sophia, Sandy attacks! Sophia's skill! I discard a card, and for each grade of my units, she gains 2000 power (8000-28000) (Sandy: 19000-47000)." (Yui: [][]). "I end my turn."
Still a little shook from that round of attacks, Yui makes her move, "I'm not done yet!" she says, "Ride! From Colorful Pastroale, Sonata (G2/10000)! I call From Colorful Pastroale Fina (G2/10000) and Serena (G2/10000). I activate Sonata's Melody! Now, all units with the Melody ability gain 5000 power when they attack the Vanguard." Saki smirks, knowing Yui's strategy, "Let's go! Boosted by Cier, Sonata attacks the Vanguard (10000-18000-23000)!"
"Guard (15000)." Saki declares.
"Drive check (none)." Yui sighs in annoyance. "Serena attacks the Vanguard (10000-15000)!"
"No guard." (Saki: [][]).
"Fina attacks the Vanguard (10000-15000)!" (Saki: [][][]). Yui sighs heavily, "Only 3 damage…" she whines.
"Well I'd hate to make your situation worse, but you kind of misplayed that last turn." Saki tells her.
"How so?"
"When Serena hit my Vanguard, she could have let you draw a card if your hand was 4 or less." She explains, "However, after the Drive Check, your hand was 5, so you missed out on Serena's effect." Yui looks down at her cards.
"I… I see" She says.
"Now, eyes front!" Saki exclaims, "The Princess is about to take the stage! Ride! My Avatar!" The fight table lights up as holograms of stage lights and a massive stadium full of mermaids covers the whole table and a small petite figure emerges from the lights, "Bermuda Princess, Tsukimi (G3/12000)! I activate Tsukimi's skill ([X][][])! By discarding a grade 2 or lower card, I can search my deck for a card of equal or 1 higher grade than Tsukimi, and Ride it!"
"What?!" Yui exclaims.
"Superior Ride! Heart Monopoly, Anezka (G4/14000)!"
"A grade 4 unit, and it's not even a Soul Drive?" Yui questions in a panic.
"Imaginary Gift: Force 1! Apply to the Vanguard (14000-24000). Next, I can call Tsukimi to rear guard and she gains boost until the end of the turn. I now activate Anezka's ability! I reveal 10 cards from the top of my deck." Saki then proceeds to flip over her cards, and all 10 are different cards, "Since all 10 cards have different card names, I can gain an Imaginary Gift Force, Accel, and Protect!" She declares, holding up a blue, yellow, and green card."
"No way! I thought you could only get one kind of gift at a time!" Yui begins to panic over this situation.
"Imaginary Gift: Force 1! Apply it to the Vanguard (G4/24000-34000). Imaginary Gift: Accel 2! I get an additional front row circle and draw a card. Imaginary Gift: Protect 1! Put it into my hand." Yui looks at Saki as she emits an ominous aura. "Next I call Lost in Memory Ann (G4/14000-19000), and due to her skill, she gains 1 grade for every two cards in my hand. I have three cards, so that makes her Grade 5 (G4-5/19000)."
Board State
[G5/19000] – (G2/9000) – (G4/34000) – (G2/10000)
(G1/8000) (G3/12000) (G1/5000)
Yui looks at Saki's intimidating board and looks back up at her, ready for the onslaught about to begin, "Boosted by Aria, Ruhe attacks (10000-15000)! Aria's skill! Add a grade 4 unit to my hand."
"Guard (10000)!" Yui declares.
"Boosted by Tsukimi, Anezka attacks the Vanguard (34000-46000)!"
"No guard!" Yui declares with confidence.
"Twin Drive (none/Critical). Critical Trigger! Power to Ann (19000-29000), Critical to Anezka (46000/Crit 1-2)." Anezka swims towards Sonata and whips her across the face with her tail. (Yui: [][][][]). "Boosted by Sophia, Sandy attacks! Using Sophia's skill. By add 2000 power for each grade of my units (8000-46000) (9000-55000)!" (Yui: [][][][][]). "Lastly, Ann attacks the Vanguard!"
"Guard (10000)!" Yui declares as she pants heavily.
"Not bad Yui, that was some clever guarding right there." Saki compliments her and Yui looks at her confused, "You knew you couldn't stop my two overly powerful attacks, so you let them go through, despite the fact my Vanguard could have gotten a double critical and you would have lost."
"Y-You think so?" Yui asks with a gleam in her eyes.
"Yeah, of course." Saki tells her, with her signature smile.
Yui's face begins to blush as several thoughts begin racing through her head "D-Did Saki just compliment me?!"
"At the end of my turn, Anezka is retired and I ride Tsukimi from the rear-guard."
"I can do this…" Yui mutters to herself, "I just have to be strong! I will win this!" Yui draws her card and looks at it with delight, "Saki…" she says, "It's time for me to go all out! Ride! Harmony of the Sea, Eris (G3/11000)! I now call all cards in my hand! Come on out! Colorful Pastroale Caro (G3/13000), Serena (G3/13000), and Sonata (G3/13000)." Saki nods her head, seeing Yui's strategy, "Now, all of their Melody skills are shared by all units with Melody, including Eris! With Sonata, they all gain 5000 power!"
(G3/13000-18000) (G3/11000-16000) (G3/13000-18000)
(XXXX) (G3/13000-18000) (XXXX)
"Let's battle! Serena attacks your Vanguard!"
"No guard." (Saki: [X][][][]).
"Due to Serena's Melody, if my attack hit and I have 4 or less cards in my hand, I draw one. Next, with Caro's Melody, she gains boost and 5000 power when she boosts. So with a boost from Caro, Eris attacks the Vanguard (18000-23000) (16000-39000)! Using Eris's skill ([X][][][][]). Add 3000 power for every one of my rear-guards (39000-48000)!"
"Complete Guard!" Saki declares.
Yui puffs her cheeks a little and reaches for her deck, "Twin Drive (Critical/Critical)." Both Saki and Yui are shocked by the result, "Double Critical! All effect to Sonata (18000-38000/Crit 1-3)! Sonata now attacks the Vanguard!"
Saki thinks for a moment, "Guard and Intercept (15000+10000+5000)."
Yui is frozen by Saki's defense. "I… I end my turn…" she says hesitantly.
"That was a close one," Saki thinks to herself,"I almost didn't have enough to guard. If Sandy didn't have 10000 shield, I would have been a goner." She then looks up at Yui, who is looking very scared. She takes a heavy sigh and begins her turn, "Yui, you fought a good fight, and I really wish that we could go on longer… but I'm ending this right now."
"Huh?!" Yui exclaims.
"I activate Tsukimi's Soul Drive! I shuffle two cards from my drop zone into my deck to add 1 grade, 2000 power, and 1 drive (G3-4/12000-14000/drive 2-3)! Next! I activate Tsukimi's skill!"
"Again?!" Yui exclaims.
"I discard a grade 2 card, then I can search my deck for a card that is of equal grade or one higher than Tsukimi, so you know what this means." Saki pulls a card from her deck and holds it high, "Surpass the limits! Ride on to a world of endless possibilities and futures! Superior Ride! Waves of Harmony, Aloris (G5/20000-40000)!"
"G-Grade 5?!" Yui exclaims.
"Move Tsukimi back, and since she was Driven on the Vanguard circle, she stays a Grade 4 and with 14000 power (G4/14000). Not only that, but since Tsukimi was Driven, Aloris is also considered Driven! I activate the skill of Endless Cheer, Asuka in my drop zone! If my Vanguard is grade 5 or greater, I can call her and she gains 1 grade (G1-2/7000)! I activate Aloris's skill (Soul 2-1)! All of my Grade 2 or less rear-guards gain 1 grade and 5000 power. Due to Sophia's skill, she gains 1 grade if my Vanguard is grade 4 or greater, so she becomes a grade 3 (G1-2-3/8000-13000), Aria becomes a grade 2 (G1-2/5000-10000), and Asuka also becomes a grade 3 (G2-3/7000-12000)!"
Board State
(G4/19000) (XXXX) (G5/40000) (G3/12000)
(G3/13000) (G4/14000) (G2/10000)
"Let's end this! Boosted by Tsukimi, Aloris attacks the Vanguard! I activate Aloris's other skill! Instead of gaining power from the boosted unit, she can gain 2000 power for each grade of my units!"
"Huh…?!" Yui exclaims.
"The total grade of all my units is 21 (2+4+3+3+5+4=21), so add 42000 power to Aloris (40000-82000)!" Yui is freezes up seeing Saki's unit, "And since I have achieved Symphony 20, Aloris also gains 1 Critical (82000/Crit 1-2)!"
"N-No guard…" Yui says as she hangs her head.
"Triple Drive (Critical/Critical/Critical). Triple Critical! All effects to Aloris (82000-112000/Crit 2-5)!" Aloris summons massive waves and sends them crashing onto Eris as the holograms disappear (Yui: [X][][][][][]).
The crowd begins to cheer for Saki's victory as she wipes the sweat from her forehead, "phew… Looks like I win." She says with a smile, before she notices Yui, still hanging her head, "Hey, are you ok?" she asks in concern.
"It's not fair…" Yui mutters, making Saki raise an eyebrow, but the Yui lashes out screaming, "It's not fair…! Why does Alex get to beat Yusuke but I get crushed by you?! IT'S NOT FAIR!" Yui then runs out of the shop crying.
"Yui! Wait!" Saki pleads, but Yui is already out the door. Saki shakes her head and decides to chase after her, as everyone in the shop, including Taiyou watch in confusion.
Later at the park, Yui sits under a tree with streams of tears running down her eyes and her face buried in her knees so no one can see her crying. "It's not fair…" Yui mutters to herself, "Why do Alex and Rina get to have legends for a family and I get nothing… it's not fair!"
"Yui!" she hears a familiar voice call out to her. She peers over the top of her knees to see Saki running towards, and stopping right in front of her to catch her breath, "I… finally… found you…"
"Go away…" Yui demands her.
"I was worried when you suddenly left the shop like that. What's wrong? You were so happy to be able to fight me earlier, what changed?" She asks as she sits down next to her.
"It's not fair…" she says again, "Why do Alex and Rina get to have legends for family and I get nothing?"
"What do you mean?" Saki asks.
Yui hesitates for a moment and lifts her head slightly and says, "Ever since we were kids, I've always wanted to see Alex as an equal, knowing both her parents were legends, but I've never ever won against her, and seeing as she beat Yusuke and I got destroyed by you…" she hides her face back in her knees, "I'm no where close to her level! I'm probably further behind than I was before! Alex invited me onto the team, but at this rate, I'll just slow us down." She then sees an image of Alex in her mind saying.
"At this rate Yui, you're no where close to our level. We're just better off without you."
"I don't want to lose her!" Yui exclaims, "Alex is my only real friend in life! But with her parents being legends and a naturally strong fighter, I have no way of matching up to her!"
"Yui…" Saki mutters and takes Yui into her arms and holds her head close to her chest, startling Yui, "It's alright…" she says in a soft voice, "you're not a pathetic fighter, and you can see Alex as an equal. There were some moments in our fight that I thought were some great plays. You just need a little help."
"Wh-What do you mean?" Yui asks as her heart races faster and faster.
Saki lets Yui raise her head and they look at each other in the eyes, "Why don't you let me train you?" she proposes and Yui's face lights up with excitement.
"Y-You mean it?!" she asks.
Saki smiles and says "Of course. I don't say things I don't mean. Consider me your personal Vanguard tutor."
Yui is silent for a moment, and a great big cheerful smile comes over her face as more tears fall from her eyes, "You'll really help me get better? And to see Alex as an equal?!"
"I'm not gonna just teach you how to be an equal to Alex, but an equal to everyone you'll ever face, and maybe someday, you and Alex will be standing atop a winner's podium together, as the new legends in the Vanguard world."
Yui pictures that image clearly in her mind as she looks Alex right in the eyes and she smiles back. When she comes back to reality, she looks at Saki with tears in her eyes and throws her arms around her in a great big hug, "THANK YOU SAKI! YOU'RE THE BEST!"
Saki, a little shaken from the sudden hug, hugs Yui back with a smile, "I know…" the two hold each other for a few more seconds before they pull away, "How about we start tomorrow after school?"
"I'd love that! But…" Yui tells her, "I want to keep our training a secret from Alex! Do you tell her or Rina anything!"
"Your secret's safe with me." Saki says putting a finger to her mouth.
"Thank you Saki! I'm looking forward it!" Yui says.
"Meet at a Card Shop called Galatia tomorrow the moment you get off from school."
"Alright! I'll be there!" Yui says.
Saki stands up and says, "Then I'll see you tomorrow." As she walks off.
"Thank you again Saki! You really are the best!" Yui shouts back to her with joy.
Saki looks back and waves goodbye to Yui, "That girl… she's a lot like me in more ways than she thinks…" she thinks to herself as she leaves the park, knowing she gave Yui a new found sense of determination.
Ending Theme – Itsuka Sekai ga Kawaru made (Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet ED)
[Next Time]
Alex: Rina seems upset from what happened to her, and she takes her anger out on me of all people. I won't let our team fall apart after it's just been formed! I will set things right! Next time on Vanguard X, "Our Vanguard"! Don't miss out on the final chapter of the first arc! See ya there!
Saki & Yui's Card Corner
Saki: Hello everyone!
Yui: Alex is still busy helping her mom and Rina is still fuming, so we'll be filling in for them today.
Saki: I have to say, today's chapter was a wild ride.
Yui: Yeah, but thanks to you, I have a new found determination!
Saki: Glad I could help. So let's see… what's our featured card today?
Yui: According to the script, it's your ace right?
Saki: Oh you're right! Bermuda Princess Tsukimi.
Grade 3 / Twin Drive / 12000 Power / Bermuda Triangle / Mermaid
Yui: Its Soul Drive can be activated by shuffling two cards from your drop zone and/or hand into your deck and it gains 2000 power, 1 grade, and 1 drive.
Saki: It's second ability is where it gets good. By discarding a grade 2 or lower card, you can search your deck for a unit that is an equal grade, or 1 higher than Tsukimi.
Yui: Meaning, if Tsukimi is Driven, you can ride a Grade 5 unit from your deck!
Saki: Tsukimi also moves herself to the rear-guard circle after when using this skill, so she doesn't lose her Driven state.
Yui: And on top of that, if she's Driven, the unit she rode also becomes Driven, allowing Bermuda Triangle's Grade 5s to activate special skills!
Yui: So what do you think? You like this card?
Saki: If you wanna discuss the fanfic or any of the author's other fanfics, you can join us on the author's Discord server at
