Hi again readers! I am presenting to everyone chapter 11! Let's see what happens after some events. Hoping there might be some results in Miwa's photos and he will stop getting beaten up by Misaki because of that. I hope everyone enjoys the chapter!
Normal POV
After forming the Cardfight Club, Aichi and the others prepared for the guerrilla concert. Kai and Miwa wanted to follow but they prevented them from following. Now, they are in the Katyusha.
" Everyone, do you have a moment?" Tsubasa said
All eyes turned to Tsubasa.
" We've received intel from the WOTA who arrived before us." Tsubasa said
" The WOTA?" Yuuka said
" They're the ones who saved us at the handshake event, right?" Nagisa ask
" According to their report, DES has called in reinforcements from neighboring planets. It seems the D.G.T.O wants to take the opportunity to capture all of 00." Tsubasa said
" That's crazy!" Kamui said
" We don't have enough combat-ready members or LAS to face them. For everyone's safety, the concert is canceled." Tsubasa said
" Let's do it!" Takamina said
" Takamina-san?" Aichi ask
" But the danger you'll face-" Tsubasa said
" Who cares about a little danger? We'll put our lives on the line to perform for the people who are counting on us! That's what AKB0048 is all about!" Takamina said
" I'm in too! I'll follow Takamina-san to the ends of the universe!" Kanata said
" You too?" Tsubasa said
" Kanata..." Takamina said
All of a sudden, the sirens rang.
" What?!" Kamui exclaimed
" A DES attack?" Tsubasa said
" They're early." Tomomi said
" Must be the welcoming party." Yuuko said
" All hands, battle stations!" Tsubasa ordered
" Roger!"
The Successors all prepared for battle.
" Guys, stay here. You still haven't learn how to use the LAS yet. But put on your battle gears for stand by. Misaki-san can handle the strategy through our communicators and Kamui-kun can supervise the 77th Generations, got it?" Aichi ask
" Right!"
Aichi put on his communicator and head into the LAS. Tsubasa was now communicating through the communicators.
" There are four enemy crafts. Takamina! Sayaka! Sae! Aichi!" Tsubasa communicated
" Right!"
" Divert the enemy as far away from the planet as you can. Meanwhile, we'll move the Katyusha somewhere safe." Tsubasa communicated
" Okay!"
They got into action.
" Once you attract their attention, move away from the Katyusha!" Takamina communicated
" Roger!"
An enemy battleship hovered over the Katyusha.
" Aichi! We have a problem! An enemy battleship is above us!" Misaki communicated
" An enemy battleship?!" Aichi exclaimed
Meanwhile, in the Katyusha...
" Oh no! The sub-engines!" Tsubasa exclaimed
" Tsubasa-san! I'm launching too. Takamina's not herself today." Yuuko said
" Okay. Can any other members pilot the LAS?" Tsubasa ask
" Please, let me go!" Kanata requested
" Kanata?" Tsubasa ask
" My father taught me how to operate the base-type. I can act as combat service support." Kanata said
" But you're still..." Tsuabasa said
" Please!"
" Very well." Tsubasa said
" Here I go." Kanata said
Misaki communicated with Aichi.
" Aichi, Kanata and Yuuko are launching right now. Be careful." Misaki said
" Got it." Aichi said
" Block 7, emergency lockdown!" Tsubasa ordered
Meanwhile, the battle is still going strong.
" Two new craft are approaching." Sayaka communicated
" That type..." Aichi exclaimed
Aichi pondered for a bit. The communications got him worried.
" Takamina, we're not getting anywhere. Your orders? Takamina?" Sayaka ask
" Sayaka-san! Watch out!" Aichi communicated
Sayaka avoided the attack but Takamina tried fending them off. When she dealt with the missiles, the smoke hasn't cleared yet and the enemy craft took down Takamina's LAS.
" Takamina-san!" Aichi tried communicating
An escape pod flew out. The enemy craft was about to retrieve the pod when more attacks prevented it from touching the pod. It was Kanata.
" Kanata-san... What a relief." Aichi said
" Aichi! No time to breathe for air! Behind you!" Misaki communicated
Aichi turned behind and attacked the enemy craft behind him.
" Takamina-san! Are you alright?! Takamina-san!" Aichi tried communicating
No response...
" Aichi. Come back. They're retreating now." Misaki communicated
" Yes." Aichi said
When they got off, Aichi immediately checked his locket.
" I knew it." Aichi said
" What is it?" Misaki ask
" Takamina-san's heart is clouded by decisions. If Kanata-san wants to be a successor, she has to graduate. But she doesn't want to quit 00 yet." Aichi replied
" That's why she was acting weird just now." Misaki said
" We're going to land on the planet soon, so get ready." Aichi said
" Yeah."
The few hours and strategy were planned and talked about. Kanata was to take over Takamina while she recovers.
" Guys, have you seen the understudies anywhere?" Kamui ask
" Huh?! You mean, they're gone?!" Misaki ask
" Oh, I heard they went outside. I'm going along to check them out." Aichi said
" Then we'll follow." Kamui said
" I guess you can. But be careful alright?" Aichi said
" Okay."
They went outside and heard singing from nearby and noticed the understudies singing for a group of children.
" Tsubasa-san, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Aichi communicated
" I sure am." Tsubasa communicated
" What are you doing?" A DES member appeared all of a sudden
" Are you with 00?" Another ask
" Leave these girls alone!" Chieri said
" Drop your weapons and come quietly." The DES member said
An LAS flew down and grabbed the endow DES members. It was Kojiharu.
" Sorry, we can't have you hurt them." Aichi said
" When did you?!" Nagisa exclaimed
" We followed your singing." Misaki replied
" Everyone, do you copy?" Tsubasa ask
" Tsubasa-san?" Chieri said
" You've convinced me. Our new plan: multiple coordinated concerts." Tsubasa said
" Multiple coordinated concerts?"
The night sky deepens as the plan started...
~ Haato gata virus song start~
" Hajimete wa pin to konakatta."
" Chotto mendou na ki ga shiteta."
" Kikareru koto dake damatte unazuita."
" ii hito da to wa wakkata kedo."
" marude taipu janatta kara yo."
" Naka yoku naranai tsumori datta no ni..."
" Doko de dou shichatta ndarou? Watashi shiranu ma ni, koi ni ochiteta no."
" Nani ga kikkake datta no ka? Iriguchi wo omoidasenai no yo."
" Haato gata virusu ni yararete shimatta mitai. Donna chuusha mo kikanai wa."
" Anata no koto bakari kangaete shimaytta no. Nanimo te ni tsukanai kurai."
" Haato gata virusu ni yararete shimatta mitai. Donna chuusha mo kikanai wa."
" Anata no koto bakari kangaete shimaytta no. Nanimo te ni tsukanai kurai."
" Nanimo te ni tsukanai kurai."
~ Haato gata virus song end~
Aichi and the others got ready for the concert. Except for Kamui, because he still needs some practice for the lyrics.
" Takamina?! What are you doing here?!" Misaki exclaimed
" I-I'm doing the concert no matter what..." Takamina said
" But you're still recovering!" Aichi said
" I'm fine... The concert is starting now. Get ready." Takamina said
" Y-Yes."
They got ready for the concert as the opening started.
" AKB0048!"
They rose up and the concert has started.
~ River song start~
" AKB0048!"
" Mae e mae e! Massugu susume! Kawa wo watare! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
" Itsu datte yume wa. Tooku ni mieru. Todokanai kurai kyori kanjiru."
" Ashimoto no ishi wo. Hitotsu hirotte. Gamushara ni natte, Nagete miro!"
" Kimi no me no mae ni, Kawa ga nagareru."
" Hiroku ookina kawa da. Kuraku fukakute mo, Nagare hayakute mo."
" Obienakute ii, Hanarete ite mo. Sou da mukougishi wa aru. Motto jibun wo shinjiro yo."
" Kimi no kokoro ni mo, Kawa ga nagareru. Ase to namida no kawa da!"
" Shippai shite shimatte mo, Nagasarete shimatte mo."
" Yarinaoseba ii. Yowane haku na yo, Yume ni shigamitsukun da. Negai kanau hi ga kuru made."
" Kawa wo watare! You can do it!"
~ River song end~
The concert continued until they completed the concert. They were completely exhausted because of that. But more events were going to come up...
" I see... So you're having a performance at your world, huh?" Yuuko teased
" I'm playing as Marron." Aichi admitted
" Then Misaki?" Takamina ask
" I'm playing as Amaterasu." Misaki admitted
" Huh~ Seems like it's going to be fun~ Hey, wanna go there everyone?" Yuuko ask
" Agreed!" The girls except for Misaki agreed
" W-Wait a minute!" Misaki said
" Then it's decided then! Let's go!" Yuuko said
" H-Huh?!"
" Good luck, Brother, Misaki-san." Kamui said
And it was decided just like that.
The next few days, they practiced the play again and again until the day has finally arrived.
" So this is Miyaji High, huh?" Yuuko said
" I got a schedule! Let's see... Their play is at 2.00. Maybe we should go look for Kamui. Besides... Aren't we lost?" Takamina ask
" Yeah..."
They ended up near the field instead. And, the understudies followed along for fun.
" I can't wait for the play!" Nagisa said
" Me too!" Yuuka said
" Don't forget we can't call Aichi, you know what, okay? If you do, it'll draw attention to both you and Aichi." Kanata said
" Yes!"
" Ah! Found him!" Kojiharu said
" Kamui! Over here!" Tomomi said
Kamui found the girls.
" Where were you? I couldn't find you anywhere." Kamui said
" We were kind of lost..." Yuuko said
" Never mind..." Kamui said
Suddenly, an announcement rang throughout the school.
" There's been a change in the program. The Cardfight Club's performance is going to begin shortly, at 1:00."
That's all. That's what the announcement said
" So soon?" Kamui said
" We should get to the gym... Wherever it is." Yuuko said
" Follow me. The others are also waiting." Kamui said
" The others? You mean Shin and the others at Card Capital?" Takamina ask
" Yeah."
" I can't wait! Right, Chieri?" Nagisa ask
" Yeah." Chieri replied
" Let's go, Orine." Yukka said
" Wait, Yuuka. We still don't know where they are." Orine said
" It's bustling with people here though." Suzuko said
" For some reason, I'm feeling nervous." Makoto said
" Grumbly, you're always grumbling." Sonata said
" I'm not!" Makoto said
" Be quiet!" Kanata said
" Now, now, Kanata. This is supposed to be a happy event." Mimori said
They all headed to the gym where the performance was taking place.
" Huh, there's lots of people here." Sayaka said
" Of course, Kourin-san is here too." Kamui said
" Who's Kourin?" Sae ask
" Girl..." Mayuyu said
" That's right. An idol here. An ultra popular one at that." Kamui said
" Ultra popular, huh? Interesting." Takamina said
" Don't think about making her join 00." Kamui said
" Of course not!" Yuuko said
" Hey! Hurry up! It's starting soon!" Izaki said
" Yeah! Now hurry!" Kamui said
" Yes!"
" So the title is 'Love and Youthful Vanguard', huh?" Kojiharu said
" It's starting." Takamina said
" I can't wait!" Nagisa said
They sat down and the performance has started. Shingo came out.
" Long, long ago, there lived a Little Sage, Marron." Shingo introduced
" Marron, huh? That card... Let's see how Aichi's gonna be in that costume." Takamina said
Aichi came walking out stiffly.
" Oh great. I think he's nervous." Yuuko said
" This side of him is a first." Mimori said
Aichi began saying his lines.
" Oh?! What's that glowing bamboo?" Aichi said
He continued with the action.
" When Marron splits the bamboo, the beautiful CEO Amaterasu, of all things, is born!" Shingo continued
" That's Misaki? Cute!" Kojiharu said
" Kojiharu, no funny ideas please." Takamina said
" Beautiful!" Yuuka said
" She should wear those more often." Kanata said
Continuing the performance...
" Amaterasu is raised beautifully... But one day, tragedy strikes!" Shingo continued
The fake door was destroyed by Naoki, posing as Vowing Sword Dragon.
" I'm Vowing Sword Dragon! I'm taking Amaterasu with me!" Naoki said
" Amaterasu...!" Aichi said
The lights blacked out and the scene was changed to the rock.
" Nice acting." Takamina said
" Not bad. Except that he went stiff that time." Yuuko said
" That dragon costume looks heavy." Suzuko said
" I agree." Makoto said
" Amaterasu is shut inside he Celestial Rock Cave! Will the hero that appears to save her... actually appear to save her?!" Shingo said
Takamina and the others watched on.
" Huh? Something's up." Sayaka said
" You're right. I'm having a bad feeling." Yuuko said
And they predicted right. The setup suddenly collapsed to the ground.
" I knew it." Suzuko said
" W-What should we do?!" Makoto ask
" Yuuko. Let Kanata take over me. Go. They're at the back. Nagisa and the others, turn off all the lights, we're heading to full drive of 'Beginner'!" Takamina whispered
" Yes!"
Aichi and Misaki noticed the plan and waited. The lights turned off. They hurriedly changed.
" What?!"
" What's going on?!"
The crowd were confused.
" Jeez... Just to help them." Kamui said
" Hey, Kamui. Where did the others go?" Miwa ask
" You'll see." Kamui replied
" Huh?"
The lights focused on the stage and it was actually cleared of some rumbles and they noticed a group standing there.
" I see what you meant." Miwa said
~ Beginner song start~
" In your position set!"
" Kinou made no keiken to ka, Chishiki nanka nimotsu na dake."
" Kaze wa itsumo toorisugite, Ato ni nani mo nokosanai yo."
" Atarashii michi wo sagase! Hito no chizu wo hirogeru na! Fuseta me wo ageta toki ni ZERO ni narunda."
" Bokura wa yume miteru ka? Mirai wo shinjiteiru ka?"
" Kowai mono shirazu mi no hodo shirazu, Muteppou na mama."
" Ima bokura wa yume miteru ka? Kodomo no youni massara ni..."
" Shipai sareta kusari wa hikichigirou. Change, change, change, change, change your mind, Change, change your mind. Nani mo shiranakute ii Beginner!"
" Shippai shite haji wo kaite, Kizutsuita koto TORAUMA ni natte."
" Anna omoi nido to iya da to, Kashikoku natta otonatachi yo."
" CHARENJI wa bakageta koto, RISUKU kaihiseru youni. Oro kana keisan shite nani wo mamoru no?"
" Bokura wa ikiteiru ka? Ashita mo ikiteitai ka?"
" Wakatta furi shite shittaka buri de. Yume mo hisashiburi."
" Sou bokura wa ikiteiru ka? Inochi muda ni shitenai ka?"
" Myaku wo utsu kodou wo ima kanjiro!"
" Stand up! Together! Umareta hi omoidase! Dare mo ga Beginner!"
" Stand up! Right away! Hajime kara kantan ni, Umaku wa ikanee."
" Stand up! Together! Saisho ni modoraba ii, Mo ichido Beginner!"
" Stand up! Right away! Hiraki naotte hiraki naotte, Dou ni ka naru sa.
" Furui PEEJI wa yaburi sutero. Saa hajimeyouze!"
" We can be reborn all the time."
" Bokura wa yume miteru ka? Mirai wo shinjiteiru ka?"
" Kowai mono shirazu mi no hodo shirazu, Muteppou na mama."
" Ima bokura wa yume miteru ka? Kodomo no youni massara ni... Shipai sareta kusari wa hikichigirou."
" Nani mo dekinai. Chanto dekinai. Sore ga doushita? Bokura wa wakainda."
" Nani mo dekinai. Sugu ni dekinai. Dakara bokura ni kanousei ga arunda."
" Ame wa yanda. Kaze wa yanda."
" Mita koto no nai. Hikari ga sasu yo. Ima ga toki da."
" Kimi wa umare kawatta Beginner!"
~ Beginner song end~
The expected silence...
" Woah! That was awesome!"
" Really!"
They immediately exit the stage, leaving Naoki and the others wondering where did Aichi and Misaki go.
" Looks like we spared enough time." Takamina said
Aichi and Misaki changed as fast as they can and entered the stage again while the lights were turned off again.
" Where did you go?" Naoki ask
" We were here all this time." Misaki replied
" Oh, really?" Naoki said
Suddenly, the lights now faced the side of the stage where Kourin appeared in the Alfred costume.
" Are you okay, Amaterasu?" Kourin ask
" I had faith you would come!" Misaki said
" We've finally reached the climax! Alfred's battle is going to begin!" Shingo said
" We're back." Kanata said
" Welcome back. Good job." Takamina said
" Thank you very much!" Kanata said
" The true enemy that I'm going to fight... is over there!" Kourin said
She pointed her sword to a corner and the light shined on Daigo and his assistant that is carrying a Vanguard fight table.
" Daigo?!"
" It's Daigo!"
" Who's that?" Yuuko ask
" Daigo. A legendary fighter." Kamui replied
" I see."
Daigo passed by them and noticed Kamui.
" Hi." Daigo greeted
" Hello..." Kamui greeted
" Have you met him?" Miwa ask
" Once, a while back..." Kamui replied
" So that's Daigo..." Kai said
Daigo went up the stage and declared a cardfight.
~ After the cardfight~
" It was a good fight." Takamina said
" I agree. And the performance is the best." Yuuko said
" Can't wait to tease them." Kojiharu said
~ Backstage~
" T-That was some performance..." Aichi said
" I-I think I've exhausted myself." Misaki said
" Yeah..." Aichi said
They managed to hide their exhaustion somehow.
" And... An explanation?" Naoki ask
" What do you mean?" Aichi ask
" You two were missing when that performance started." Shingo said
Aichi noticed something behind him and used his foot to push it away and hide it.
" But we were beside you all that time..." Aichi said
" Don't lie." Rekka said
" We're not lying..." Misaki said
" Then what are you pushing away, Aichi?" Kourin ask
Aichi flinched and pulled back his leg.
" What do you mean?" Aichi ask
" Naoki, get that bag." Kourin said
" Okay." Naoki said
Aichi and Misaki sweat drop.
" The bag... inside is... our stage clothes." The two thought
Panic arise inside them. If no one comes and help them, their secret might be revealed but unfortunately, they have to get the clothes away, and fast.
" But nothing is inside, really." Misaki said
" Suspicious." Suiko said
" Besides, at that stage earlier, it was suspicious enough that the lights turned off and you two were gone." Shingo said
" Oh great. Let's just hope that..." The two thought
Their Kirara appeared.
" Kirara!" The two thought
" What is this?" Naoki ask
The two Kirara flew to their owners.
" Kirara..." Aichi sighed
Misaki sighed.
" Kirara?" They ask
" It's nothing." Aichi replied
He then noticed someone outside, it was Kanata.
" Oh, Aichi, Misaki!" Kanata said
" Kanata-san." Aichi said
" Check the schedule! You're going to be late!" Kanata said
" Schedule? Late?" The two said
Memorizing the schedule.
" Oh no." The two said
" Aichi? Misaki?" Kourin ask
" What's wrong?" Rekka ask
" Hey, first up was..." Aichi said
" Events... Concert... Aichi, we better go. Now!" Misaki said
The two ran out with the bag.
" Wait a minute!" Naoki shouted
They ran after them.
" Aichi, Misaki! Wait up! I just came to get them." Kanata said
Outside the school gate...
Kamui was waiting for them.
" Brother! Misaki-san! Hurry!" Kamui shouted
" Where are the others?" Aichi ask
" They went back to Akibastar." Kamui replied
" Good. Wait a minute..." Misaki said
The two turned back. The others with Kanata were chasing after them.
" Why are they still chasing us?!" Aichi said
" Kanata! Hurry!" Misaki said
" Y-Yes!" Kanata said
The four ran as fast as they can back to the portal.
" Over there!" Aichi said
He had left the portal opened in an alley but invisible to most people eyes. They entered the portal back to Akibastar.
Thats the end of this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it! Wonder how did the chase went? Maybe Naoki and the others have entered Akibastar too. Find out in the next chapter! See you next chapter! Bye bye!
