Chapter 2

Here we'll have a little Time Skip to see how Issei progresses with his decks and we'll see two matches before the main canon story now while I wanted Issei to join Q4, it wouldn't be as much fun if Issei wasn't facing the likes of Kamui, Achi, or Kai so I'll have Issei make a team of his own and still go to Card Capital but he'll have his own hangout card shop.

Now Issei has a Kagero, Pale Moon, Granblue, and Dark Irregular Deck so I should warn you all that there will be some OC cards that I think would be interesting.

Now let's begin!

A Month Later. Time Skip.

Issei was walking around town and was looking at his Pale Moon deck that he was practicing on with the other Cardfighters in the area. Issei was still new to the units but he did make a strong deck according to Rekka. Issei had come to enjoy the idols company since it was nice talking to another girl who seemed very interested in him and didn't mind his quirks. Mostly Rekka. Issei did say his dream was to be a Harem King which made Rekka roll on the floor in laughter, Kourin glare at him, and Suiko stifling her laughter as she hit the wall with her fist. Rekka then heard made a vow to him that she be his first girlfriend.

Rekka was a very fun girl to be around who had this warmth around her that made anyone calm down or relax around her which Issei and his aunt enjoyed so much. Speaking of his aunt, she was happy that Issei made a female friend, much to his embarrassment when she pulled out the baby photos that Rekka loved to look at which gave her plenty of blackmail to use against him much to his displeasure until Suiko shared some valuable information about Rekka much to the girls shock that she was 'betrayed' by her own sister which made Issei wonder how they were sisters since all three looked nothing alike.

Anyway, Issei would've gone to PSY Shop but unfortunately it was closed and Rekka said she couldn't hang out due to her work as an idol which made Issei smile at the picture she sent to him of her being in a cute outfit. Issei chuckled at this before he looked up from his phone to see that he had wandered to a shop called Cray Kingdom. Issei was curious about this shop so he went in it.

Issei was surprised to see that the shop was well taken care of as he looked to see it was like a small diner that had some tables eating areas while there were a large numbers of Cardfight tables that had the normal settings while there was a second floor where there were a couple of thugs as they snickered and played Vanguard.

Issei walked up to see a tall guy with spiked orange hair and a gold tooth in his mouth. He was wearing a green muscle shirt and cargo pants while smirking at the girl clenching her fist as she glared at him. She wore a pink blouse with an orange vest and a lighter orange skirt, with a pink sash worn as a belt a a matching pink bow in her hair. She also had a pair of pink cowgirl boots with red diamonds and soles. Her hair was dirty blonde styled in a ponytail, and her eyes are green. She was mad at him for some reason as she and the tall man argued.

"I saw you cheat! You snuck a card from your sleeve and replaced it with a card in yo ur hand. Plus you stacked your deck!" The girl glared at him as the man chuckled and scoffed at her. "Look girlie you lost so pay up."

He said as he made a gesturing hand which made the girl hold her deck as the others started to crowd around her. Issei was surprised at this before getting involved. "Hey! Hold it. What the hell is going on here and why are you after her deck?" Issei said as the group looked at Issei which made the guy smile at him. "Well here we don't play for fun. We play for decks. She came in and I challenged her and since she lost she has to pay up."

Issei narrowed his eyes at him as he looked at his sleeve. "Oh really? So why is there a card sticking out of your sleeve?" This made the girl and guy gasp as Issei went to the table before he put his deck on the table. "You said it before right? You play for decks so let's make a deal. You and me. Cardfight now. I win, she keeps her deck and I get your deck but if you win you get both of ours. Sounds like a good deal?" Issei said as the guy smiled at him before the group got ready to watch the game.

"I like you kid. Names Gendo and I hope your ready to lose." Gendo said as he shuffled his deck while smiling at him. 'This guy is pretending to be a white knight for the girl but I'll make him regret challenging me. My Megacolony and I won't lose to a rookie.' He then put his Grade 0 down as did Issei.

Issei looked at Gendo and nodded before they shouted. "Stand up! My/The Vanguard!" They then flipped their cards as they declared their units.

"Innocent Magician."

"Heh. Megacolony Battler C."

Issei looked at him and nodded. "I'm going first. Draw." Issei said as he drew his sixth card and chose his Grade 1 unit. "I ride Starting Presenter." The circle glowed as the hologram changed to the unit before Issei made his next move. "Innocent Magician moves to the rearguard thanks to his skill. I end my turn." Issei said after moving Innocent Magician in the back row in the bottom left hand side.

Gendo smirked as he began his turn. "Okay. Stand and Draw." He then drew the card beneath the top card but Issei didn't say anything as Gendo looked at his hand. "Hm. Now let's see. Which of these cards should I choose?" He said as he swapped a card from his back pocket with the one in his hand before smiling. "Oh right. I'll choose Phantom Black." He said as he rode the unit which made the girl gasp as she saw this move before looking at Issei and wondering why he wasn't saying anything.

'He had to have seen him cheating but why isn't he saying anything?' Nagisa then looked at Gendo as he made his next move. "Moving Battler C to the back." He said as he moved Battler C behind the Vanguard before smiling. "Next I call Karma Queen." He said as he placed the bee like Queen in the left front row rearguard circle as he smiled. "Now with a boost from Battler C, Phantom Black attacks your Vanguard." He said as Phantom Black glowed white before it leaped at Issei.

"No Guard."

"Drive Trigger Check." Gendo said as he revealed Bad Drip. "Well look at. A Critical Trigger. Power to Karma Queen and Critical to my Vanguard." Gendo said as Starting Presenter was hit before Issei checked his damage trigger.

"Damage Trigger, Check. First card?" He revealed a copy of Starting Presenter before putting in his damage zone. "Second check?" He revealed a copy of Mirror Demon. "Nothing." Issei then looked at Gendo who smiled. "Now Karma Queen attacks your Vanguard!"

Karma Queen smiled as she charged at him and as Issei's Vanguard was hit he checked his Damage Trigger. "No trigger." Issei said as Gendo ended his turn.

Issei then drew his sixth card and nodded. "Stand and Draw." He looked at his hand and smiled. "I ride Star Magician Elen!" He said as he rode his Vanguard making Starting Presenter vanish as the Star Magician took his place.

Issei Hyoudou.

Hand: Five Cards.

Vanguard: Star Magician, Elen. No units behind her.

Right Side Rearguards: Nothing in front or back.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Nothing. Back: Innocent Magician.

Damage: Three Cards. None are flipped.

Gendo:

Hand: Five.

Vanguard: Phantom Black. Behind him is Megacolony Battler C.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Karma Queen. Back: Nothing.

Right Side Rearguards: Front and Back: Nothing.

Elen smiled as she waved her wand as Issei entered his Main Phase. "When Starting Presenter is ridden while he's in the Vanguard Circle, I can perform a double soulcharge." Issei then did his Double Soulcharge before he chose two cards from his hands and called them to battle. "Next I call Midnight Bunny and Card Dealer, Jacqueline." Issei declared as the two units appeared on the battlefield.

Issei then smiled as he then began his attack. "First with a Boost from Innocent Magician, Jacqueline attack your Vanguard Phantom Black." Gendo smiled as he shook his head. "No Guard." Jacqueline fired multiple throwing cards at Phantom Black before they exploded on contact which made Issei smile as he activated her skill.

"When Jacqueline deals an attack to my opponents Vanguard I can then pay for her counterblast." Issei said as he paid the cost of one and then soulcharged one card before choosing a unit from the Soul. "Superior Call Fire Juggler." Issei then called out Fire Juggler as she twirled her baton. Gendo checked his damage as he revealed a Grade 1 unit before putting it in his Damage Zone before Issei continued his Battle Phase. "Next up with a boost from Fire Juggler, here comes Elen." Elen leaped into the air before Gendo guarded it.

"Sorry kid but Bad Drip will stop you." Issei didn't seem fazed by this as he checked his Drive Check. "Checking for a Drive Trigger." Issei revealed Grade 3 unit that made Issei smile as he then put it in his hand as he activated Fire Juggler's skull. "When my Vanguard from the Pale Moon clan reveals a Grade 3 during the Drive Check she then gains another ability. After the attack I can send her to the soul and choose another unit to call from the Soul. Superior call. Nightmare Doll Alice. And since a unit was called to the rearguard from the soul I can superior call Miss Direction from the Soul to the Rearguard." Issei said as he then revealed a special card in his hand. "If my Vangaurd is a Grade 2 and the attack failed, I can superior Ride this unit. I superior ride! Satan Girl Serafall Leviathan!"

Elen glowed as she was replaced with a mature and beautiful girl; looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and pink eyes. She also has a child-like body (albeit with large breasts). Which made many of the guys gasped at while the girl looked at her bust and pouted at the unit. Issei smiled at this and swore to thank Rekka for the card.

"Now as long as she's my Vanguard I can send rearguard units into my soul instead of retiring them, so Jacqueline moves to the soul instead of the drop zone while Miss Direction takes her place." Issei said as he moved Jacqueline to the soul and had Miss Direction take her place as Issei smiled at his formation. "Now with a boost from Midnight Bunny, Nightmare Doll Alice attacks Karma Queen!"

Alice smiled creepily as she moved to Karma Queen and grabs her before Karma Queen yelled in pain as she was retired which made Issei smile as he then activated their counter blasts. "Since Alice's attack was successful and Midnight Bunny boosted a successful attack, I can activate their counter blasts and send them to the soul." Issei did so and put the two in the Soul as he called two units to battle. "Let's go, Jacqueline and Starting Presenter."

Starting Presenter appeared behind Jacqueline as Jacqueline smiled at him as he continued his assault. "Now first off Miss Direction will attack your Phantom Black." Gendo shook out of his fantasy as he guarded it. "Raider Mantis will guard!"

Issei smiled at this as he then had his Vanguard attack. "Next up, Leviathan crashes in!" Gendo looked at hand and shook his head. "No Guard."

Issei then checked his Twin Drive. "Twin Drive. First check? Nothing. Second Check? Draw Trigger. Power to Jacqueline then I draw." Issei said as Serafall blasted a bunch of hearts with sparkles from her wand as Phantom Black was hit by the attack which made Gendo take the bottom card of the top on as he revealed it. "A Draw Trigger. Power to Phantom Black. Then I draw one card." Gendo then drew another card before Issei boosted Jacqueline in one more attack that got through which made Gendo groan in worry as he checked his next damage trigger which was nothing.

This made the group worry as Issei ended his turn by putting Miss Direction back in the soul along with Jacqueline and Starting Presenter due to her skill.

Gendo then drew his card as he began his turn. "Now I ride Bloody Hercules! Then I call another Bloody Hercules, Tail Joe, and a Phantom Black."

Issei Hyoudou.

Hand: Six Cards.

Vanguard: Satan Girl, Serafall Leviathan. No units behind her.

Right Side Rearguards: Nothing in front or back.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Nothing. Back: Innocent Magician.

Damage: Three Cards. All are flipped.

Gendo:

Hand: One Card.

Damage: Three Cards. None are flipped.

Vanguard: Bloody Hercules. Behind him is Megacolony Battler C.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Lady Bomb. Back: Phantom Black.

Right Side Rearguards: Front: Tail Joe. Back: Nothing.

Gendo smirked as he looked at Serafall Leviathan and began his attack. "First I'll have Tail Joe attack your Vanguard and with Joe's skill, as long as your units are in the rest position he gets an extra 3000 power." Issei revealed a copy of Starting Presenter. "Starting Presenter guard the attack."

Gendo smiled as he then had Battler C support his Vanguard. "Then with a boost from Battler C, my Vanguard Bloody Hercules attacks your Vanguard!" Issei then stopped it as he guarded against it. "Nightmare Doll Wendy blocks your attempt." Gendo snarled at his as he checked his Drive Trigger to reveal a Grade 3. "Tch. Just my luck." He then had his other Bloody Hercules supported by Phantom Black attack Serafall which he let through much to Gendo's relief.

Issei checked his damage trigger to reveal a Grade 2 unit. "Then I end my turn." Issei nodded as he drew his card. "Alright. Now I call Sinhalite Beast Tamer and Exotic Jerker." Issei said as he called the two units to battle as he explained Serafall Leviathan. "This is my first time using Serafall Leviathan due to her abilities. The first one is a continuous effect. When she's my Vanguard, rearguard units can be put into the soul instead of the drop zone when a unit from the soul comes to replace them. Also at the end of my turn if a unit was called to the Rearguard from the Soul during the turn she's my Vanguard, they go back into the soul after my turn. And this is the last ability. During my turn she gets 1000 power for every card in the soul. There's seven granting her 7000 power." Issei explained as Serafall moaned in joy at the additional power before Issei began his attack.

"First with Innocent Magician's support Sinhalite Beast Tamer attacks your Vanguard Hercules. Sinhalite's skill grants her 3000 power when attacking the Vanguard." Issei said as Sinhalite attacked the Vanguard. Gendo smiled as he was going to check the damage trigger before he had a card slip from his hand on the top of his deck and revealed a Draw Trigger.

"Alright a Draw Trigger! Power to my Vanguard Hercules! And I draw." Gendo said as he drew a card and smirked as Issei didn't seem fazed and continued his attack. "Then with a boost from Exotic Jerker, Serafall attacks! And with Jerker's skill." He moved her to the soul and explained. "Since my Vanguard is attacking I can put her into the soul give my Vanguard 10000 power and a new card for me until the end of the battle." This made Gendo gasp as Serafall was at 31000 power which made Gendo gulp. "No Guard." Issei began his Twin Drive. "First card? Nothing. Second? Draw Trigger. Power to Leviathan and Draw." Issei said as he drew his new card which made Gendo check his damage trigger before smiling at the card he 'got' from his deck.

"Alright Heal Trigger! I recover one and power to my Vanguard." Gendo smiled at this before he froze at Issei's hard stare as his eyes glowed like a rainbow. "My turn is over. The next card you draw is a Heal Trigger." Gendo was shocked at his but shook it off as he began his turn with a draw and gasped at the card. "N-No way." The group and the Nagisa were shocked as Gendo looked at a Heal Trigger in his hand that he drew which made him look at Issei who had a smirk on his face. "How sad that you drew the same card that could've helped you last turn. Looks like your cheating betrayed you."

Gendo growled at this as he looked at his hand. 'We're tied for damage and I have all I need to win. I don't know how he knew about that Heal Trigger but it's all in vain since I just need to deal two more attacks.' "Sorry kid but its the Final Turn!"

Issei Hyoudou.

Hand: Six Cards.

Vanguard: Satan Girl, Serafall Leviathan. No units behind her.

Right Side Rearguards: Nothing in front or back.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Sinhalite Beast Tamer. Back: Innocent Magician.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Bloody Hercules. Back: Phantom Black.

Right Side Rearguards: Front: Tail Joe. Back: Nothing.

The crowd cheered, except Nagisa as she knew what was going to happen. "The games over so why isn't he freaking out." Gendo then rode his Vanguard. "I ride! Martial Arts Mutant, Master Beetle!" Gendo smiled as he moved Battler C behind Tail Joe. "I move Battler C to the Rearguard circle behind Tail Joe then I call Stealth Millipede. Now with a boost from Battler C, Tail Joe attacks!"

Tail Joe hissed as if charged at Serafall with its 16000 power. Issei just shook his head and let it through. "No Guard." Gendo smiled at this as he looked at Issei revealing no trigger before he put it in his damage zone, after that Gendo began his next attack. "Now with a boost from Stealth Millipede, here comes Master Beetle. And with Millipede's skill as long as your formation is in the rest position, Master Beetle's power is 21000. Now try this. My Limit Break!" He shouted as he paid three damage and pointed to Sanilite Beast Tamer and Innocent Magician. "Those two can't stand on your next turn!" Issei looked to see the two paralyzed by the effects as Issei pulled out a card.

"Hades Hypnotist. Will nullify your attack." The crowd, Gendo, and Nagisa gasped as Issei dropped a draw trigger that he got on the last turn which made Gendo groan at this. "He shut me down. Okay. Checking the Twin Drive!" He said as he revealed a Heal and Critical Trigger.

"All effects to Bloody Hercules! This'll finish you off. With Phantom Black's support, he'll crush Serafall Leviathan!" Gendo shouted as he commanded his units before another Hades Hypnotist nullified the attack that made Gendo and the others gasp as Issei put the card away.

"So is it my turn?" Issei asked with a smile on his face that made Gendo pissed off before he was scared of the glare that Issei sent his way. "Well? Are you done?" Gendo held his insult in and sheepishly nodded as Issei drew his next card.

Issei Hyoudou.

Hand: Three Cards.

Vanguard: Satan Girl, Serafall Leviathan. No units behind her.

Right Side Rearguards: Nothing in front or back.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Sinhalite Beast Tamer. Back: Innocent Magician.

Vanguard: Martial Arts, Master Beetle. Behind him is Stealth Millipede.

Left Side Rearguards: Front: Bloody Hercules. Back: Phantom Black.

Right Side Rearguards: Front: Tail Joe. Back: Megacolony Battler C.

Issei then shouted. "This is the Final Turn!" This made Gendo and the others shocked as Nagisa wondered what his plan was. Issei lifted his hand into the air as he declared. "The End of this Performance is on the Final Act. Hear his roar as he closes the show with his mighty salute! I ride! Gun Salute Dragon, End of Stage!" Issei declared as Serafall was replaced with the mighty dragon as it roared in the air with its massive cannon.

"Next I call another Star Magician Elen and another Fire Juggler." Issei said ashe called the last units in his hand which made Gendo look at his formation and then his hand. 'I have a Grade 3, a Nullifier, and two Grade 0's that can take 20000 power. I'll be fine.' "Give it your best shot." Gendo said challengingly which made Issei nod as he began.

"First Elen will attack your Vanguard with support from Fire Juggler." Issei said as Elen Charged up and fired at the Martial Arts Master which made Gendo shake his head. "No guard. Damage Check? A Stand Trigger. Power to Martial Arts and Battler C stands." Gendo said as Issei smiled as he sent Gun Salute Dragon. "Now here comes Gun Salute Dragon! First, Serafall Leviathan's Limit Break! Since, another Grade 3 rode on top of her I can send two Pale Moon rear-guards, and put them into your soul. Then I can choose up to two Pale Moon units from the soul, and call them to separate rearguards. Sinhalite and Innocent Magician to the soul and coming out are Jumping Jill and Satan Girl, Sona Sitri." He said as Jumping Jill and a bespectacled girl with the same eyes as Serafall but with short hair and a more modest body, that made Nagisa smile, as she looked shy at being on stage.

"Now with Sona's support, Jumping Jill attacks your Vanguard and since Jill was called from the soul she gets 3000 power for the turn and since Sona is boosting a Pale Moon unit, Jill gets another 5000 power making Jill's attack 23000 power!" Jill smiled in joy as she charged at Martial Arts, Master Beetle before Gendo stopped her. "No way. I guard with Sharp Nail Scorpio and Medical Battler, Ranpli will guard that attack!" Gendo panted in relief as Issei got Gun Salute Dragon ready.

"Let's go my friend. Attack Martial Arts Master Beetle!"

Gun Salute Dragon roared as his power was raised by 10000. "And since this ability was a success, Gun Salute Dragon gets 10000 from Serafall. Now for his ability, when the dragon charges at the opponents vanguard I can empty the soul and send them to the drop zone. By doing this, he gains 5000 power for each card sent there until the end of battle." Issei said as he emptied the soul of eight cards which made Gun Salute Dragon roar as his power shot to 61000 power. Gendo gasped before he guarded against the dragon. "No way. I nullify it with Paralyze Madonna!" Gendo shouted as he discard a card and glared at Issei as Issei checked his Twin Drive. "First card? Heal Trigger! Power to Gun Salute Dragon. Recover one damage. Second Check? Nothing there."

Gun Salute Dragon's canon fired as Gendo smiled at this. "Looks like your done. And that Limit Break seemed pointless. Time to hand over your deck." Gendo expected Issei to cry but all he got was a smile and a dark laugh that made Gendo scared before Issei looked at him. "You really didn't hear me did you? This is the Final Turn and let me show you why."

Issei then declared. "The Final Curtain Call is sounded as Gun Salute Dragon signals the end of the show! His own Limit Break!" Issei shouted as he did a counterblast of two and sent the four rearguards into the soul. "When the attack is finished I need to send four Rearguard units into the Soul and then from my hand. Superior Persona Ride!" Issei shouted as he rode another Gun Salute Dragon on top of the first one. "Adding another 10000 to this Gun Salute Dragon!"

This made the crowd gasp as Gendo asked himself. "Where did he get a Persona Blast like that?" He then saw Issei declare his final attack. "Gun Salute Dragon! Finish Master Beetle! And with his skill I send the four cards from my soul to the Drop Zone and add 20000 power to this attack!"

Gendo gasped as he saw Gun Salute Dragon's power rise up to 41000 power. "It's too big for me to stop!" He said as he backed away from the Dragon until Issei's face darkened as he began to check his twin drive.

He revealed the top two and smiled.

"That's a Critical Trigger. Times Two."

This made the crowd and Nagisa gasp in shock as a female asked. "Is he for real!?" "As real as they come."

Gun Salute Dragon roared as he gained the effects and fired his cannon at Master Beetle and made it groan in pain as it began to vanish from Gendo's final damage being another Critical Trigger.

The holograms vanished as Issei packed his deck up and walked over to Gendo and held his hand out to him while Gendo was on his knees before looking at Issei with his hand out towards him.

"Your deck. You lost which means your deck is mine." Issei explained as Gendo remembered the deal before he nervously packed up his deck and gave it to Issei before a chain flew out of the air and grabbed his hand before a figure called out to him.

"Not bad. Your good but I can't let you just take his deck. So here's my counter offer. I'll allow you and the girl to keep your decks but only if you beat me. If I win, I'll get yours and Gendo's deck back. I may be the king of this place but unlike them, I don't cheat. So what do you say? Your deck on the line this time." The figure said as he took the chain back while Issei glared at him. "Okay but what's your name?"

"Jun. Jun Mutsuki." Jun said as he introduced himself and got his self ready while Issei pulled out another deck. "No point in using the Pale Moon against you if you know what my plan is." Jun smirked at the challenge as they prepared themselves.

"Now Stand up! My/The Vanguard!"

The arena now became a haunted mansions ground as Jun and Issei called out their units.

"Vermillion Gatekeeper."

"Amon's Follower, Barmaid Grace."

Issei and Jun were surprised at the units they were using before Jun asked. "So you play with the Dark Irregulars as well? Interesting. Now we can see who's the real master of this clan." Issei smiled back as he made the first move.

"I'm going first. Draw." Issei drew his card and took one and rode it. "I ride, Amon's Follower, Fallen Angel Raynare." The Barmaid was replaced with a fallen Angel that had long black hair and purple eyes as she looked at her Vanguard and curled around him which Issei didn't seem to mind as he continued. "Barmaid Grace moves to the back row and then I activate Fallen Angel's skill. When she's placed on the vanguard circle I can soul charge two cards." Issei then did so as Fallen Angel glowed magenta as she felt the souls enter her body. "Then I end my turn." Issei said as Jun nodded.

Grade 1

Amon's Follower, Fallen Angel Raynare

Auto: When placed on the Vanguard or Rearguard circle, soulcharge two cards.

Attack: 7000

Shield: 5000

"Okay then. Stand and draw." Nun drew his card and rode his unit. "I ride Prisoner Beast and call Alluring Succubus. And with the Gatekeepers skill, I can soulcharge and with Succubus's skill, one more soulcharge." Jun explained as he double soul charged and then began his attack. "First Prisoner Beast attack your Fallen Angel."

Raynare braced herself as Jun checked his drive check. "Drive Trigger check? Nothing." The beast tackled Raynare before it flew back as Alluring Succubus flew at Raynare and hit her with a blast of dark energy as Issei checked his second damage which made the group cheer for him while Gendo and Nagisa were watching silently as they watched the game.

"I'm not sure my King will win this game. He may be good with the Dark Irregulars but still...that kid scares me." Gendo said as Nagisa agreed somewhat. "He's a skilled fighter and while he may be new, he seems to have some skills to master a Pale Moon deck like that. Let's keep watching for now."

She saw Issei draw his sixth card and began his turn. "I ride Amon's Follower, Imprisoned Fallen Angel Saraqael ." Raynare was then replaced by the another Fallen Angel that had dark pink hair and amber eyes chained up to some kind of seal. Issei then did a soulblast of one card as he explained his actions. "Imprisoned Fallen Angel Saraqael is released from her seal this turn thanks to the soul blast. Next I call Amon's Followers Fallen Angel Raynare, Hells Draw, Demon of Aspiration Amon, and Hells Deal."

He said as he called the four units who were smiling as Issei began his turn. "First off I activate Hells Draw and Hells Deals ability. When called to the rear guard as long as my Vanguard has the word Amon in its name, I can soul charge two cards each." Issei said as he soul charged four cards and took note of them before continuing his turn. "As long as I have six or more cards in the Soul, Demon of Aspiration gains an additional 3000 power. With Raynare's skill another two cards in the Soul. Now let's have some fun." He said after doing Raynare's soulcharge.

Issei then began his attack. "With support from Hells Deal, Hells Draw attacks your Prisoner Beast!" Hells Draw flew towards Prisoner Beast as Jun blocked it. "Rock the Wall will guard. And with his skill he goes to the soul instead of the Drop Zone." Jun said as he sent the guardian there while Issei began his next attack. "Next with support from Barmaids Grace, Saraqael attacks and since she's being supported by a Dark Irregular she gains another 5000 power."

Jun looked at hand. "No Guard." "Drive check." Issei flipped the card as he smiled. "It's Grausam. Power to The Demon of Aspiration. Critical stays with Saraqael." The Angel hummed in joy as she struck Prisoner Beast as Jun checked his damage triggers and saw nothing on them before Issei released his final attack. "Lastly, Demon of Aspiration Amon attack with a boost from Raynare." Issei said as Amon growled in glee while Raynare sent power to the demon. The Demon then struck Prisoner Beast dealing the third damage to Jun.

"My turns over. Back to you." Issei said as Jun nodded and drew his card. "First I ride Decadent Succubus and call a second one."

The Prisoner Beast was changed as Decadent Succubus was called into its place while another one with dark purple hair emerged next to it.

"With Decadent Succubus as my Vanguard, whenever another Dark Irregular comes into the rearguard circle, I can soulcharge. Next I call Doreen the Thruster and move Succubus back to make room for Werwolf Sieger." He then soulcharged two more cards making Doreen glow with power. "And during my Main Phase whenever a card is put in the soul, Doreen gets another 3000 power. Three cards means 9000 power."

"Now first my Wereolf attacks your Vanguard with a boost from Succubus." Jun said as the Wereolf charged at her which made Issei shake his head. "No guard." Werwolf slashed the Fallen Angel as Issei checked the damage trigger. "It's Psychic Waitress. Saraqael gains the power bonus and I draw." Issei said as he drew his card while Jun continued his assault. "Now my Vanguard Decadent Succubus attack with support from Doreen." The Vanguard glowed with power and she charged at the Fallen until Issei put down a card to guard. "I don't think so. Cruel Hand will guard that one."

Nun checked his drive check to reveal Edel Rose which made him smile at this before he added it to his hand. "Alright. My rearguard Succubus attacks Hells Draw." The Succubus struck the smaller one as she winced in pain and went to the Drop Zone as Issei got ready.

"My turns over." "The I stand and draw." Issei said as he drew his next card. "I ride, Demon World Marquis's Amon!" Saraqael was enveloped in a Dark aura as she was relaxed by the large demon before Issei began his Main Phase. "Next I call Amon's Desire, Asmodeus." He then called a gorgeous young woman with pink eyebrows, pink eyelashes, white skin, pointed ears, and green eyes.

She had long pink hair that reached down to her legs with two giant horns curling backwards and up on both sides of her head. She had a pair of small, retractable black wings sprouting from the center of her shoulders, and a knee-length black tail with a heart/spade-shaped tip. She wore a ornate purple-and-black-striped collared shirt with a high bottom that exposes the undersides of her breasts, and an ornate, elaborate cape that reaches down to her butt, sporting eight points with beads along each point, and has fur at the collar. She also had matching-pattern fingerless gloves and a side-split micro skirt, on top of which is a black belt having a large, ornately engraved buckle. For her feet, she wore black boots with a spike on the toe boxes – in some depictions, there are silver, skull-shaped studs resembling buttons on the front side of the boots – and there are black leg bands on her upper thighs. Every aspect to the way Asmodeus was dressed was as if it was meant to exude sexiness and entice whomever looks at her, be they male or female.

Grade 3

Amon's Desire, Asmodeus.

Power: 11000

As long as the Vanguard is a Dark Irregular unit, her skill activates. When she's called to the rearguard or Vanguard circle, the user can draw 1 card for every Dark Irregular in the rearguard, including her.

When a rearguard unit on the opponents side is retired or a unit is placed in be soul on her side then she gains 2000 power until end of turn.

"Now when Asmodeus is called to the field, I get to draw one card for each Rearguard that's a Dark Irregular, including her. So that's five cards for me." Issei then drew his cards as he then activated Barmaids Grace and Amon's ability. "Now first, I activate Barmaids Grace's skill. By putting her to rest and paying one, I can give Asmodeus a special ability for the rest of this turn. She gains 1000 power for every card in the soul. Then I activate, Amon's ability. Paying one I can put one of my rearguards into the soul and retire one of your own rearguards. I'll do it twice so I send both Raynare and Hells Deal into the soul retiring both Werwolf and Decadent Succubus."

They both winced as they vanished before Issei smirked. "Now Asmodeus and Amok gain 1000 power for each card in the soul which means there's ten cards in the soul. That means 10000 for each of them for the rest of the then. Next I call the Poet if Darkness, Amon and Doreen the Thruster. And with Doreen's skill, three cards were sent to the soul Saraqael, Raynare, and Hells Deal which means 9000 power for her until end of turn. Poet of Darkness also gets 3000 power as long as there are six or more cards in the soul."

Issei then began his attack. "First, with support from the Poet of Darkness, the Demon of Aspiration attacks your Vanguard!" Jun saw the demon strike him as he checked the damage trigger to reveal a Critical Trigger. "It's a Critical Trigger and I give all effects to my Vanguard." Issei tched at this as he sent Amon to attack. "Now Amon attacks your Vanguard Succubus." Amon growled deeply as he felt the soul charging him up to 20000 power before Jun looked at his hand.

'If I use my nullifier I can block this one but that'll leave me wide open to the other one who's charged up with the Soul...Then again if I get a Heal Trigger it can save me. I have to take that risk.' Jun then looked up as he spoke. "No guard." This made Gendo gasp as Nagisa explained why. "He's hoping for a Heal Trigger. He can guard but if he did then he'd be out of options with no cards or intercepts. Plus Asmodeus is still charged up and ready to attack. His only chance is a Heal Trigger."

Gendo swallowed his spit as Issei was checking his Twin Drive. "First Check? A Stand Trigger. All effects to Demon of Aspiration Amon. Second Check? A Critical Trigger. Power to Demon of Aspiration and Critical to my Vanguard." Jun winced at this as he for the attack hit his Succubus as he checked for a Heal Trigger. "First card? Nothing. Second card? Heal Trigger Activated! Power to my Vanguard. And I recover one damage." Jun then saw the last two attacks and then his hand. 'I still have March Rabbit but that'll leave me open to the next attack.'

"Now the Demon of Aspiration comes to strike your Vanguard once more!" Issei said as the Demon flew to him and struck the Succubus before Jun flipped over the last card to reveal a Draw Trigger.

"Heh. You beat me." Jun said as he packed his deck and handed it to Issei before Issei gave the Megacolony back to Gendo. "Here. I wanted you to know how it felt getting your deck taken Gendo. I was going to give it back to you also it's not my style." Gendo looked in shock as he had his deck back before he bear hugged Issei which made him gasp while Nagisa and Jun laughed at Issei's misfortune.

"Thank you! Your so nice and allowed to come back anytime! Next time I'll best you with my own skills." Gendo cried as he hugged Issei who replied as he tried to get out. "Okay but please let me go! My back is about to pop!"

A few minutes later, Jun allowed Issei and Nagisa to return anytime they wanted before they went to the food court on the bottom floor and got some food. Issei and Nagisa were chatting with each other and learned that Nagisa was 16 same as Issei and graduated from Middle School.

"So if you do decide to stay what school will you attend?" Nagisa asked as she sipped her soda while Issei pondered before remembering his aunt talk to him about it. "I think my aunt will enroll me to either Hitsue or Miyaji Academy. They each have a great High School system and both do sound promising especially since my aunt asked me to take the test to see if I've been studying for high school and personally...I want to stay here. I don't really have any friends in Kuoh Town plus it's...actually quite nice being here and this game is so much fun I want to try more."

Nagisa giggled at his enthusiasm for Vanguard before sliding next to him and drew circles on his left arm. "You know I liked it when you stepped in to save me like a mysterious black knight to save the fair princess." She then gasped as she fell into his arms. "Oh woe is me that I'm taken by the dark knight." She gasped as she put an arm over her head which made Issei stifle a laugh as he went with it.

"Yes. The Hero has failed and to the victor goes the spoils of war. Mwahahahaha!" Issei laughed as he hugged Nagisa and messed with her while Jun and Gendo were watching the two.

"You know Gendo, I think having those two around here will be a good change. Plus that kids got potential. Maybe this'll be our year." Jun said as he looked at a deck in his hand which made Gendo gasp. "Y-You don't mean?"

Jun nodded as he looked at Issei chatting with Nagisa. "Yep. The Vanguard National Tournament and I think letting him keep my Dark Irregular Deck is a good call. Those cards didn't suit me. Now I can bring out my real power." Jun said as he looked at the top card of the deck he held. "Galactic Beast Zeal. It's time for you to shine."

A new friend. A new rival. And a new admirer have been found this day.


Later in the Evening.

Issei was eating dinner with his aunt and asked. "Hey Aunt Maho, can I ask you a question?" His aunt then turned around from the sink as she nodded. "Yes. What is it? Is it about girls?" She asked which made Issei do a so-so motion.

"Kind of. It's about the offer you said before. The one about being here for my Highschool life. I...I've grown to like it here and I was thinking that it might be a nice change. A fresh start to make myself anew and enjoy this great city. So...if it's okay with you and my folks I would like to stay." Issei said with his eyes closed before he felt a hand on his head. He opened his eyes to see Maho look at him with a smile on her face as she patted his head.

"It's fine. I'd love for my only grandson to be here but I will have to talk to your folks. I'll tell you by the end of summer okay?" Maho said as Issei nodded before she pointed to his room. "Oh and there's a package from your girlfriend Rekka in your room. I don't think you should tell her about the princess you saved today." She giggled as Issei felt his face heat up.

"Mom...Rekka isn't my girlfriend. She's an idol which means she can't date anyone. Even though I want to ask her out." Issei said as he whispered the last part to himself before putting his dishes away and went to his room after saying Goodnight to his aunt.

He found the package on his deck and opened it to reveal a small deck of cards with a folded piece of paper on top of it. He opened the paper and read the letter.

"Dear Issei,

This is a gift from Rekka's boss as a thank you for making Rekka happy. Before she always had a fake smile she gave to the crowd and her fans but as she spent time with you she was happier and spoke to you even more. Rekka had matured and granted she's still herself but she's opening up more and more into her performances and training for photo shoots, Cardfights, and gratefully school. So Rekka told me about how you loved your Pale Moon, Dark Irregulars, Kagero, Granblue, and now I ask you to test these new cards for your decks I sent in this box. Thank you and I approve of your idea of getting together with her. Just make sure the media doesn't find out.

From Takuto Tatsunagi. Chairman of Tatsunagi

Issei was shocked that Rekka's boss reached out to him and approved of the idea of him dating her as long as the media didn't find out.

He then looked into the box and pulled out the deck that was held his new cards before he took one that of the cards off the deck as he saw that they were...unique cards so to speak.

"Kagero Unit: Ddraig Y Goch? Dark Irregular Unit: Amon's Ruler, Lucifer? Granblue Unit: Demon Captain of Envy, Katarea Leviathan? And Pale Moon Unit: Neko Circus Mistress, Kuroka? Well these seem interesting. Can't wait to use them." Issei then pulled out his decks as he began to study and prepare for another day of Cardfighting and hopefully his new life here in town.

I do want to make it clear that yes I did change some of the units abilities but it was to make them more fun like Imprisoned Fallen Angel, Saraqael and some OC's as well.

Now yes I did use some DXD girls and characters in the chapter there will be others as actual players like Irina. If you have an OC card idea then please put it in the reviews. See you all next time.
