Well, I don't have anything much to say, on with the story!

Start of Chapter

The girl with Cyan hair just closed her eyes as she was in the transport, the conversation still fresh in her mind.

Start of Flashback…

"I didn't expect you to be here…" Takuto told the person with red hair. "Shindou Chrono…"

"Well my daughter is here, am I not allowed to check on her?" He asked.

"You went missing for so many years, right at the start of what's happening… why did you just show up now?"

"… This was the only chance I got." He said. "They're going to head here soon. And they want it. I'll try to send as much help as I can but… if we have to meet in battle…"

"I see, so you chose their side…" Saya added.

"… Every man has a weakness…" Was all Chrono replied with before he handed a letter to Takuto. "Give this to Akemi. And Saya… how are Tirua and Lauris?"

"Huh? Tirua?" The girl asked before she felt her head hurt. "Ugh… why?"

"That should get rid of some of the brainwashing."

"Brainwashing?" Takuto asked surprised but Chrono was long gone.

"My head… it… hurts…" The girl said as flashes of things popped into her mind.

"… I think it's better to take his word for it. Tell Akashi and the others about it when we get back."

"… Ok." The girl nodded as she returned with them… and after informing them, this all led to where they are now…

End of Flashback…

"Are you ok Miss Saya?" Bella asked as she noted the girl's face.

"I'm… honestly, Saya has a lot on her mind." The girl admitted as she tried to force a smile.

"We're here." Akashi said as the group arrived at Tatsunagi HQ, the female idol being helped down by him as they exited their black van.

"I swear this tower looks as amazing as it always does." Bella commented.

"Please this way miss Saya." The Genesis player directed as the idol was led inside.

The inside of the building still seems to have a lot of glass to it, however Saya was directed by the members of Try Angel into what seemed to be a lab with a bed on it, and a lot of machines attached to it.

"So what do I do?"

"You just lie on the bed Miss Saya, we're going to scan your brain waves to see whatever hypnotic suggestions there are."

"Ok…" The girl replied as she lied down… meanwhile, back at the main lobby.

"Takuto-sama…" one of the attendants began. "There is a guest here who wants to see you, she claims to have important information."

"I see, do you know who she is?"

"No, but she explicitly called for you, saying something along the lines of, 'The Queen requests an audience.'"

"Queen…" The Gold Paladin player muttered.

"Takuto… if we're right that should be."

"Yes, it might be who it is." He nodded to her. "I will meet her alone."

"You sure?"

"Yes, you two can just eavesdrop on our conversation via the cameras."

"Acknowledged." Rekka said as she directed Bella away.

"Is it usual for him to talk to someone alone?"

"Not like this." She replied. "Normally, the only time he does do that is when it comes to business stuff, but this is not one of those business stuffs."

Meanwhile, on another part of town, a building with 5 floors just stood by itself, in front of it was a statue of Maelstrom, Tetra Drive, Anger Boil, Genovious and Thavas.

"Leon-sama…" A girl greeted, she had blue hair, and was flanked to the left by another girl who also had blue hair, although it was interesting that the girl with the ribbon on her right, compared to the other on her left, looked a bit older.

"Jillian, did you find what was going on?"

"Not yet, we know there's a disturbance here."

"But we still don't know who did it."

"Allow me to explain then." At that the trio looked towards the entrance to the room they had, noting a man standing tall and having a white robe.

"You are… Kaizu Ruga?" the other girl asked.

"No Sharlene, that glove on his right hand, that is…" Leon just stepped in front of the two girls.

"I know what he wants, and I won't let him get it."

"Say that after you beat me, Souryu Leon." The man declared as he reached out for his deck.

"Sharlene… get out of here and call Takuto for help." Jillian whispered.

"Understood."

"I'm going to beat you, First Admiral Valeos."

As Takuto entered the room, he would notice a girl that seemed to just turn into a teen, she has red crimson hair that she tied into a ponytail to prevent from reaching her jawline. She has a purple crop top and a black dress top layered over it alongside a short purple skirt with black lining along the edges. However, what Takuto was more concerned of, was the black gloves on her right hand.

"… I see that the Queen of Megacolony has graced us with her presence." He noted. "I believe that is who you are? Right, Miss Gredora?"

The girl though just looked at him before she sighed.

"Yes, I am Gredora, and I see that not much has changed, Concert Master."

"Mind telling me why you entered and sought an audience with me?" Takuto calmly asked as he walked towards his seat in the middle of the room. "And mind telling me what happened with your other host? Did you seek another person?"

"DON'T TREAT MY SISTER LIKE ANOTHER NUMBER!" The girl replied before the diffrider symbol returned, as Gredora made a face of apology.

"I apologize for the outburst, this is the body of her sister, Aria Kurt."

"So you immediately jumped to the sister?"

"Gaily Kurt is dead… Gyze executed her for my defiance." The diffrider said.

"I see, although I am quite hesitant to believe that you would rebel against Gyze, considering that in his first appearance, you fought for him, and even the last time you did."

"Which was a mistake." The girl agreed. Many years ago, she had fought for Gyze, and after Valeos was defeated by Fides, it had sealed Gyze's defeat. And then during Gyze's return, she once more fought for him, sending her children into battle. "And I believe that Chrono mentioned someone heading to meet you right?"

"… That would be you?" He asked as she handed him a file.

"I don't know, why don't those files speak for me." She shot back and as Takuto opened the files as he widened.

"I see, cards such as the countercharge or soulcharge heal triggers… thank you miss Gredora." He began. "But I don't think this would be the only reason you are here right?"

"They are coming. They're looking for Apostles."

"Apostles? Won't they have enough already?"

"They already are looking for a replacement for me." She replied. "And they also found a United Sanctuary and a Dragon Empire Apostle."

"… And who are the replacements?"

"A Magus user, and a Rex user."

"I see…"

"Also, you must know that he is coming?"

"Who?"

"Who else? The First admiral. He's come to gain control of Aqua Force." At that Takuto's eyes widened before he received a message.

"Sir, Miss Sharlene is here, she says that there's trouble."

"I understand, contact Hiroto and Iori, tell them to follow me, we're going there."

"Yes sir."

"You're going with me; I don't trust you anywhere else first."

"I understand." Gredora nodded as she followed.

"Rekka." Takuto ordered as he looked at the camera. "Help Akashi, take miss Sybella with you."

Rekka who couldn't reply since she was watching from the other room, acknowledged the instructions as she brought Bella with her to help Akashi with Saya.

"Tch…" Leon just grit his teeth as he saw his situation.

"Leon-sama is already pressed at this much of a disadvantage…" Jillian noted.

"You see it do you not, Souryu Leon?" Valeos asked. "The fact that I possess these Blue Waves and you do not, you are not fit to lead it anymore, surrender and I shall make you one of my closest admirals."

"Aqua Force was used as a puppet by you, I grew up believing in the absolute justice of Aqua Force…" he began. "But the justice you strive for is a lie!" He began as the wind started to stir around him. "You would make us once more into the slaves of Gyze who will serve at his beck and call! I will repel you Valeos!" He began as he raised a card from his hand as a Bright Shooter flew from his hand to the drop zone. "Snowy white, swift wind! Become a shooting star in the night sky! Ride! Blue Wave Dragon, Tetra-Drive Dragon!" He called out as Algos was covered in the aura as the cyclone dispersed, showing a dragon roaring with twin cannons.

"That's the new Tetra Drive Takuto gave him." Jillian noted.

"Imaginary Gift, Accel!"

"Imaginary Gift?" Valeos wondered.

"I generate an extra rear-guard circle! And all rear-guards on it get 10000 power!"

"10000?!"

"Call!" He began. "Coral Assault, Tetra-Torrent, Brutal Trooper!" He began as he filled up his field, with the cycle rider on the left taking the accel circle, the other dragon to the right, and behind it another smaller dragon with twin guns. "Brutal's skill! I return it to the deck and gain a skill! And then Bubble Edge's skill!" He said as he moved it into the soul, I give the skill to my Vanguard! And then call another Coral Assault behind Tetra Torrent."

"Tetra Torrent attacks your Vanguard!" Leon called out.

"Intercept." Valeos replied using Cuteria.

"Tetra-Drive attacks your Vanguard! Skill activated! I draw one card."

"No guard." The admiral replied.

(Drive Check- Supersonic Sailor- Critical Trigger)

"I give all effects to Tetra-Drive!"

(Drive Check- Emerald Shield, Paschals- Draw)

"Draw trigger!" I draw one card and give the power to Foivos!"

(Damage Check- Blue Wave Marine General, Cuteria)

(Damage Check- Blue Wave Soldier Senior, Corvette)

"Foivos attacks your Vanguard!" He said not using the boost but increasing it's power by 2000 by paying a counterblast.

"Supersonic Sailor will guard that." Was the reply as the whistle partly deafened Foivos.

"With Foivos' skill, I stand it. Wheel Assault boosts, Foivos attacks your Vanguard!"

"No guard." Valeos simply replied.

(Damage Check- Blue Wave Soldier, Bluegill Trooper- Draw)

"At the end of the 4th battle! Its skill activates!" Leon called out as he discarded Tetra-Drive and Penguin Soldier from his hand. "Tetra-Drive stands! Drive -1! And with Wheel Assault's own skill, I exchange the position of Tetra-Torrent and the Coral Assault behind it!"

"I attack your Vanguard with Coral Assault!" Leon called out resting the one not on the Accel Circle."

"Supersonic Sailor guards."

"My Vanguard attacks!" He said resting it. "With both Bubble Edge and Brutal's skill, I draw 2 cards." He began.

"Refit Sailor guards." He said as the girl once more appeared and created a barrier to block Tetra-Drive's attack."

"Drive check."

(Drive Check- Wheel Assault)

"My other Coral Assault attacks your Vanguard!"

"Another Refit Sailor guards." Valeos added.

"That makes 7 battles!" Leon declared as he paid a counterblast and discarded Wheel Assault, "one more time, the wind will blow eternally, stand up for a second time, my Vanguard!"

"Three Vanguard attacks?!" the girl asked surprised.

"One more time! I attack with my Vanguard!" Leon called out.

"Go get them, Leon-sama!"

"Perfect guard." Valeos simply replied as the Aqua Force Clan Master's eyes widened.

"Drive Check…"

(Drive Check- Light Signals Penguin Soldier)

"Turn… end." He replied, moving both Coral Assaults into his soul in order to draw 2 cards.

Valeos - Leon

3 - Hand - 10

0 - Soul - 5

5 - Damage - 5

1- Counterblast- 3

10 -Drop Zone - 7

Field

Blue Wave Soldier, Kosty- Blue Wave Marine General, Galleass(V) = RG - RG

Blue Wave Soldier Senior, Corvette – Blue Wave Marine General, Galliot = Blue Wave Dragon, Tetra-Drive Dragon – RG

RG – RG = Blue Wave Marine General, Foivos – Wheel Assault

Accel Circle – RG

"What a shame." Valeos sighed as he drew a card. "Such amazing attacks, but you stood my way, such insubordination… WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED!" He declared as he discarded the SuperSonic Sailor he draw. "Roar! Endless Blue Wave!" He called out as the card in his ride deck flew to his hand. "Ride! Blue Wave Marshal, Valeos!"

"Tch." Leon just grit his teeth as he realized what that meant as the admiral just stepped forth, the remaining Blue Waves on their side of the field bowing in respect.

"Stride Generation!" The admiral called out as he discarded another copy of his Grade 3 self from his hand. "Blue Wave Marshal Dragon, Flood Hazard Dragon!" He added. "Stride skill!" He said as the dragon roared with Tetra surrounded by a ring of water. "Your Vanguard's power is decreased to 11000, and it's frozen until the end of turn."

"That's bad… now even if he gets a trigger, it won't power up his vanguard…" Jillian said.

"Kosty's skill activates!" He replied as he paid a counterblast and retired it. "I draw one card. And my Vanguard is treated as a Grade 3 until the end of turn."

"That's… why so specific?" the girl wondered.

"Call!" Valeos said throwing out every single card in his hand. "Foivos, Corvette, Yorgos!"

"He now has a full field, but if he can't win it this turn, it's Leon's sure win!" The girl realized.

"Yorgos' skill." He said binding the one in his drop zone, I give the Corvette behind my Vanguard the skill to attack from the backrow this turn. And since my Vanguard is a Blue Wave, Corvette's continuous skill will activate granting them 5000 power."

"First battle, Galleass attacks your rear-guard Foivos." At the orders the swordsman raised his sword and successfully struck, as Leon had opted to not guard. "Flood Hazard attacks your Vanguard! Galleass' skill, when my Grade 3 vanguard attacks, if my opponent's power is not their original power, I can stand them!"

"That explains why they needed Kosty's skill…"

"Generation Guard! Blue Wave Armor General, Galfillia! Shield plus 5000! And then guard!" Leon said adding Penguin Soldier from his hand.

"Triple drive."

(Drive Check- Blue Wave Engineer, Refit Sailor- Heal)

"Heal trigger. I heal one damage, and give the power to Foivos!"

(Drive Check- Blue Wave Shield General, Yorgos)

(Drive Check- Blue Wave Soldier, Brutal Trooper- Critical)

"Critical trigger, I give all effects to Foivos!" The admiral said as he now rested it. "Foivos attacks your Vanguard. Skill activate, counterblast, power plus 2000, it stands at the end of the battle."

"Guard! Supersonic Sailor, Bright Shooter!" Leon declared.

"Foivos stands, the Corvette in the backrow attacks your Vanguard."

"Guard!" Leon used Starless this time.

"At the end of the 4th battle, their skill activates!" He said paying a counterblast and discarding two cards from his hand. "I stand Flood Hazard, drive minus 3! I attack your Vanguard!"

"Perfect guard!" Leon said using another Torrent from his hand.

"I attack your Vanguard with Galleass!"

And as Leon looked at his hand, he realized the problem, he has no heal triggers to call out a G-Guardian, so reluctantly he declared.

"No guard…" He replied as the Aquaroid struck a deep blow at Tetra-Drive as the 6th damage flew out.

(Damage Check- Emerald Shield, Paschals- Draw Trigger)

"Souryu Leon, you have lost, and by the new blessing of Gyze, you will lose it all." The admiral declared as an ominous aura emanated from both their decks. "The Zeroth Dragon couldn't be called out, so it won't manifest, but as you lost against us, you will suffer the consequences, as admiral, I hereby cast you away from the marines! And so it shall, RESONANCE BREAK!" He declared as Leon's eyes just blanked for a bit before going back into color, and as he looked at his decks, he realized that the cards started going white, specifically, all the Blue Wave cards although his Psyqualia immediately started activating, as if in response to the attempt.

"Wait what's going on?" Jillian asked as the cards looked normal to her.

"I see that it's an incomplete Resonance Break… something protected you." Valeos said. "But no matter, you still lost all of the Blue Waves. And I shall take that, Imaginary Gift." And Leon tried to stop him but as he was too weak, he just passed out instead.

"You will do no such thing!" Takuto barged in the room, accompanied by Hiroto, Iori, Sharlene and Gredora. "Admiral Valeos, you are hereby detained."

"… So it is true," Valeos sighed. "Gredora, you truly turned against our master."

"It was a mistake to side with him, I sided with him in the thought that my children could prosper more, instead it made them more malicious, I will not make the same mistake again." The girl replied.

"Very well, I have got most of what I wanted anyway." He replied as his body started to glow white as he was being warped out. "If you do not surrender, we will come by force, it is your choice now." With that he was gone, not even able to take the Imaginary Gift with him.

"Check on Leon now." Takuto ordered as Jillian was just holding on to him as he noted a weird aura from the person's deck. "What happened?"

"Valeos came… and, he used something called… a Resonance Break… I don't know what it did…"

"… I think I understand…" The Concert Master eyed the deck as his eyes glowed a bit. "… Valeos severed, or at least attempted to sever, Leon's connection to the Blue Waves. It seems that his connection to the rest of Aqua Force is still intact, but this is something new that the Apostles have."

"Will he be-"

"He'll be fine Miss Jillian." Iori told her. "But we need to get him some rest."

"… I didn't know they could do that now." Gredora admitted.

"What matters is, we plan our next move."

Author Notes:

I honestly wanted t make these into two separate chapters… but honestly I wasn't feeling that well so I decided to just make it one. Also I do not like the fact that the V Blue Waves require you to have a G3 VG. The V Galleass I still think is better than the G version just for the fact that you don't need to discard. But considering th attacks I would see why people would say G beats V Galleass. But that's just me. Thanks for reading and see you all next time. Hopefully I can update these faster but Halo Infinite is so fun!
