Hi again everyone! I thought about a few things and I've decided to not take down the preview, partially because I thought it would be rude if I just deleted it whilst there were reviews present, particuarly with one question which I will go ahead and answer now.

EDIT: 16/02/15 (My apologies kineke13. I won't let that mistake happen again.)

Q1: catboy97 - Will Blaster Blade and the other Royal Paladin clan cards work with Umuru's effect and will they be consider as like a Ancient Weapon type SIGNI if that happens?

A: Well, I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but that won't be happening due to both the Royal Paladins and Umuru going along very diverse playstyles of their own. Umuru's main role in the story won't come into full effect until Story Arc 3 as for the moment, she will be making brief appearances through very few scenes in Arc 2 (which has just started) and it's probably worth noting that Aichi doesn't know who exactly Umuru is nor does he have any cards related to her for the time being. But rest assured, I'm planning to figure something out later in Arc 3 between those two.


Aichi's Dreamscape

(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Trembling Miracle)

Aichi felt lost and confused as he stared around the black area that he found himself standing in. Did he make it to the other world? Or was he sent someplace else entirely? Actually the first thought was true, though he didn't know of that yet. He looked about, wondering about how he ended up like this in the first place or how he could even see, considering the dark colour all around him. His answer came in the form of a small, but bright glow from behind him. From within that glow, Aichi could make out a figure that was standing right before him. Some of that brightness faded out to reveal that the figure was indeed female, dressed up mostly in dark colours. A black scarf was wrapped around her neck along with black boots, what appeared to be a black skirt along with a rather small black top, only covering up half of her chest. The girl had blue eyes in an almost brighter shade than Aichi's along with a strange shade of blonde hair with what appeared to be two black ribbons wrapped across each other forming a cross over the top of her head and just above her ears, a pair of small horns were present.

"Um... Who are you?" Aichi asked nervously.

The girl said nothing, her expression remaining blank but curious. She didn't know of what to say to him or what else he was going to say to her. Seeming just as confused himself, Aichi raised his hand in front of him and waved it slowly, giving off a gentle gesture of saying hello to whoever it was standing in front of him. The girl mimicked his action, almost mirroring where his left arm was currently positioned with her own right arm. Aichi was surprised. He never expected to come across someone as strange as whoever was standing in front of him. As he moved his arm down, so did the girl in front of him.

"My name is Aichi," he said "Do you have a name?"

"Ai... chi..." the girl slowly spoke out. The atmosphere between the two of them became silent once more as they gazed at one another, wondering what to do or say next. As Aichi took a step forward towards the girl, a sudden gust of wind appeared in the space as he felt himself being dragged backwards at an incredible force. He looked backwards to see a sudden dark hole appear in the space as he struggled to stay on his feet, desperate to stand his ground and ride out this storm, to find out exactly who this girl was. But the force of the vortex was too much for him to handle as could only feel himself being dragged back even further. Eventually, in an effort to take a step forward, Aichi tripped up and found himself pulled off the ground and headed towards what appeared to be certain doom.

"Wait!" he cried as he looked forward towards the girl, reaching out his hand towards her. She however, seemingly unaffected by the sudden gales, only stood still and mimicked his action with her right arm as she watched him disappear into the vortex in front of her.

Wixoss World: Kurebayashi Apartment

Aichi's eyes became wide awake in an instant as he shot up from the bed he was lying in. He breathed heavily as he tried to recall everything from the experience that he just went through. The last thing he could remember was the sound of the teleporter activating with everything going all white and then briefly meeting this strange girl before waking up in the bed that he had been resting in. As he looked around the room, he knew that it was definitely unfamiliar to him but that wasn't his main concern at the moment.

"W... Where am I?" he murmured. In a few moments, the answer to his question would be answered. He turned over to the bedroom door just in time to see Kazuki enter.

"Oh, you're finally awake. We were pretty worried about how you were holding up."

"I see..." replied Aichi "Um... I'm sorry if I've caused any inconvenience."

"It's nothing to worry about," said Kazuki "You were unconscious when my sister and I found you on our way back home and we didn't think it would be right to leave you like that. By the way, my name's Kazuki."

"I'm Sendou Aichi," he spoke kindly whilst giving a warm smile "It's nice to meet you." As he slowly rose from the bed, he briefly clutched his head in pain, having not fully recovered yet. Kazuki noticed this and went over to him.

"Take it easy," he spoke "You've only just woken up."

"Sorry..." replied Aichi as he eventually managed to stand up on his feet. He looked down on himself to suddenly find that he was in his nightwear, much to his surprise. "E...Eh?! When did I...?"

"I changed you into the nightwear we found in your bag," Kazuki explained before sighing for a moment "My sister insisted on having a peek inside because she could apparently sense something."

"My deck..." Aichi murmured before looking up at Kazuki "Does your sister have my deck?!"

"Yes," he answered "My sister was only having a look through before I heard you waking up. I'm sure she hasn't changed anything, though your deck does seem a little strange for Wixoss." Aichi although relieved at this news could only blink at Kazuki, wondering exactly what he could have meant. Then, it hit him. If I did make it to that other world, maybe Vanguard is non-existent there! That's why my deck is strange to them...

Meanwhile...

(Cardfight Vanguard! OST: BGM 2)

'Yuzuki' could only stare in wonder at the top card of Aichi's deck, now changed into the form of Wixoss it would be most ideal to. It was an LRIG card of Level 2 with the borders coloured in white, much like Tama's LRIG cards that Ruko originally used. Yet despite depicting a still image of the warrior that represented Aichi's avatar, she could still feel something strange from it and this wasn't from the LRIG type, Royal Paladin that was imprinted on the bottom right of the card image. This felt like any LRIG that belonged to a Selector meaning that this wasn't just any other regular card that any player of Wixoss would have. The same could be said for the other LRIG cards that she happened to come across, but this one in particular seemed to be special to the Cardfighter, otherwise he wouldn't have placed it on the top facing up.

"Blaster Blade..." she murmured "You and these LRIGs seem different from the 'others'. And yet..."

"Yuzuki, our guest is awake!" The voice of Kazuki called out from behind his bedroom door. She snapped out of her thoughts and placed Aichi's deck back on the table. 'Yuzuki' then watched as her brother and Aichi emerged from behind the door and entered the living space of their apartment. The two of them sat down on the sofa opposite her, but not before 'Yuzuki' moved the deck over towards Aichi.

"So you've woken up," she said "Sorry if I made you mad from peeking through your deck. My name's Yuzuki, what's yours?"

"I'm Sendou Aichi," Aichi replied before bowing briefly "Nice to meet you." He then glanced over to his deck, noticing Blaster Blade on top exactly as 'Yuzuki' had left it before he recovered. When he noticed the changed borders and markings however, a look of discomfort was present on his face. He held up his deck and quickly fanned through the cards, realizing that Blaster Blade was not the only one to have changed to adapt to Wixoss' rulings. As 'Yuzuki' and Kazuki stared at him in confusion, he turned over the cards to reveal their backings had also changed. Several of them were white whilst the rest were black. After looking back at the siblings and noticing their expressions, Aichi quickly calmed down before placing the cards back on the table.

So Vanguard is non-existent here he thought That's why my cards have changed.

"Is something wrong?" asked 'Yuzuki' "I didn't change anything."

"No, it's fine..." replied Aichi "Um... I've had this deck for a while, though I never really got the chance to understand what Wixoss is. I was... just making sure it was where I left it."

"I see," mumured Kazuki "Then how about we teach you?"

"R... Really?" he asked.

"I don't mind," spoke 'Yuzuki' "But there's one question that we've been meaning to ask you."

"What is it?"

"We saw you come through a weird flash unconscious when we found you," Kazuki explained "So, where exactly did you come from?"

"Um... I come from someplace really far away," Aichi answered "... Though I don't know where exactly I've ended up." He then went deep into thought. I don't like being dishonest, but what were the chances of them believing I could have come from another world?

"I see," murmured 'Yuzuki' "Well then Kazuki, can you get Aichi acquainted with the rules before we get started?"

"Yeah," he replied "Please try to go easy on him, considering it will be his first time playing. Hold on a second..." As Kazuki went off to find the rulebook and playmat to help Aichi get acquainted with the sudden changes to his deck, 'Yuzuki' went deep into thought over the matter. A part of her though had wanted to battle Aichi, just so she could see those LRIGs of his in action for herself.

This should prove to be interesting she thought That aura from Blaster Blade though... Does Aichi know of it?

(End Music)


Kai's Rented Apartment

(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Unmei no Deai)

Kai looked out over the table from where his deck was laid out, still thinking over everything that had happened the previous day. He had finally found Ruko due to finding himself trusting Ulith's word, but the missing Selector was anything but happy to see him, Tama and Hitoe. He had managed to find out about why she had chosen to isolate herself from both her friends and family, it was to do with Tama's 'betrayal' on the night before he arrived where Iona had become her LRIG in the result and later on he discovered that the same LRIG had Link Joker's power coursing through her. That was when things had taken a turn for the worse for Kai. During the battle, Iona's attacks had resonated with the seed fragment stuck inside of him causing him enough pain to pass out, allowing all of the Reverse built up by the seed fragment to consume him, essentially reversing him again.

Though he was thankful that Tama had managed to bring him back to his senses, he knew he had to throw the battle to prevent Ruko from being reversed by his own hands. Even so, Iona had revealed that Kai had already lost by then and before Ruko could allow the LRIG to strike the final blow, a strange white energy intefered by causing the battlefield to collapse, everyone present unaware that it was caused by a power struggle between Takuto, Leon and Mayu as well as Naoki's rash efforts to send himself, the aftermentioned cardfighter, Aichi and Ren to the world where Kai was stranded in. Kai then promised Ruko that he wouldn't give up on trying to bring her back, but the question that still remained in his head was how? He stared at Dragonic Overlord's card in particular, still agitated by the fact that "The Яe-birth" had not vanished completely as he had first thought after Aichi had brought him back from Reverse once before. To make things more disturbing, Kai had never put the card in his deck in the first place nor was it even present among the cards since the battle had abruptly ended.

Over from where her card was placed, Tama could only feel down about everything that had happened as of recently. She could only think about what Ruko has said to her, that this was all her fault for not invoking the oath. To an extent, she was correct. Now she was struggling to hold back Link Joker's power emitting from Iona's Level 5 form and Tama felt she was to blame for putting her former Selector into this mess. Looking back at Kai and remembering what he said before when he once controlled Link Joker's power, she could understand what he was going through, but she knew that with the fact that he passed out causing that same power to consume him, that wasn't his fault. She looked up at Kai and waved towards him to try and get his attention.

"What is it?" he replied.

"Is Kai going to try again?" Tama asked "To find Ru?" Kai said nothing in response. He knew that he would have to try again eventually, but with the way things were with his brief but recent return to Reverse, he just didn't know how without putting himself and Ruko at the risk of that power again. Even so, there was also the issue that Ruko wouldn't even listen to reason from Hitoe and Yuzuki because they also still trusted Tama. As he relayed the situation again through his mind, he suddenly remembered back to the battle when Iona had interrupted him before he could ask Tama any further on the subject. There had to have been something then that Iona didn't want him to pry out of Tama back then that he could try and find out now. Kai then turned over to the LRIG in question and gazed down at her.

(End Music)

"Tama," he spoke "It's time for some answers."


Kurebayashi Apartment

It took some time, but eventually with the help of Kazuki, Aichi had managed to get a basic understanding of how his Royal Paladins would work in Wixoss Battles. Much to the cardfighter's secret relief, he was glad that the flow of the battles worked similiarly with the cardfights he had back home so he could pick up on how the game worked rather quickly. However deep down, he knew that taking 'Yuzuki' lightly because it was his first Wixoss battle was something that he couldn't allow to get to his head and even under these circumstances, he should play as he always had. Once Aichi was sure that he was fully acquainted, he turned over to 'Yuzuki' who nodded in agreement. Both then set their starting LRIGs face down on their respective mats and prepared their Life Cloths and starting hands.

"Now then, are you ready?" asked 'Yuzuki'.

"Mhm," replied Aichi as he nodded in confirmation to her question. Kazuki looked over the two of them before nodding to allow them to begin.

"Open!" they both called.

(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Let's Battle)

"Hanayo-Zero!"

"Advance Party Seeker, File!"

"I'm going first," spoke 'Yuzuki' as she drew her card. "Grow, Hanayo-One!" In the battlefield pictured in both her's and Aichi's minds, Hanayo didn't change a lot from the Growth aside from a small red mark that appeared on her left cheek.

"I summon and end my turn there." Aichi nodded as he drew his cards, beginning his turn. Glancing over his hand, he kept in mind of what Kazuki had taught him for Ener Charging to build up his Ener for both Growing and costs for certain effects. Seeing as it was the first turn though and 'Yuzuki' would have the higher Level advantage when she would begin attacking, Ener Charging at this point didn't seem worth it though. He picked through his LRIG deck for one card and placed it on top of File's card.

"I grow Little Sage, Marron!" he called "I summon Epona and Cynric!"

On the battlefield, File vanished as a human like male figure, appeared in his place. He had blond hair and red glasses in front of his light blue eyes whilst wearing a hat of some sort and carrying a red book under his right arm. To Marron's left and in front of him appeared two more figures. The first one called Epona, was shorter than Marron, but clad in more armor and wielding a sword in the grip his right hand as he rode on top of a golden armored beetle. The second figure known as Cynric was taller than Epona himself, sporting some silver armor along with a dark cape and a crossbow like weapon of his own. Back to reality, Aichi quickly looked across 'Yuzuki's' field before turning his attention to Cynric.

"Cynric attacks Amethyst!" he declared. 'Yuzuki' nodded as she moved her defeated SIGNI to her Ener Zone.

"Epona!" Aichi called. On the imagined battlefield, Epona raised his sword as the beetle he rode on charged towards Hanayo. He brought down the sword, slashing down her front before the beetle hovered back towards Marron who raised one of his hands whilst holding the book he carried in the other. The raised hand sent a flash of blue sparks right at Hanayo which her dead on. 'Yuzuki' flipped up her second crushed Life Cloth revealing End of Eternity.

"With the Life Burst, I can now grow next turn at no cost," she spoke, a brief smile flashing on her lips as she placed the card beside another copy of Amethyst, Natural Stone which was crushed from Epona's previous attack and the other Amethyst that was defeated earlier.

"Turn end," said Aichi.

End of Turn 2

Aichi vs 'Yuzuki'*

Hand - 5 : 5

Life Cloths - 7 : 5

Current LRIGs - Little Sage, Marron : Hanayo-One

SIGNI : Bringer of Good Luck, Epona - Honest Seeker, Cynric - EMPTY : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY

Ener - 0 : 3

7 to 5 Kazuki thought to himself Aichi's gotten off to an offensive start. But with that Life Burst just now, Yuzuki will still have some Ener preserved for later. On top of that, from looking through Aichi's deck earlier, he doesn't have a single Level 4 LRIG despite having SIGNI of that Level. Just what can he do though?

"Not bad," spoke 'Yuzuki "But now this is where things will get serious." Aichi said nothing but nodded, making sure that his concentration on the current situation at hand was not broken.

"Draw. Grow, Hanayo-Two!"

On the battlefield, a flurry of flames whirled around Hanayo, only adding another small red marking to her left cheek beside the one that was there from her previous form. 'Yuzuki' however didn't seem to be looking to stop there.

"And a Spell, Swift Advance!" she called as she revealed the card in her hand. "When I use this Spell normally, I can pay 1 to Superior Grow any Hanayo LRIG that's at least one Level higher. In this case..." After moving one of the two Amethyst cards she had from her Ener Zone to her Trash, she searched her LRIG deck for the card she wanted and dropped it on top of Hanayo-Two. This time, it was Hanayo-Three, Blazing Flame Dance that was the LRIG in play. Aichi could only look on in shock from this spectacle unfurling before him.

(End Music)

"Amazing..." he murmured "In just her second turn, she's already managed to advance to Level 3. And yet I..."

(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Reverse Rampage)*

"Flame Dance's ability," 'Yuzuki' cut in, snapping Aichi out of his thoughts "I banish Cynric!" The cardfighter said nothing as he moved Cynric's card over to his Ener Zone.

"Not yet!" she called as she revealed another card from her hand, shocking both Aichi and Kazuki at once. "One more Swift Advance and Superior Grow!"

After moving the other Amethyst from her Ener Zone to her Trash, she placed another card from LRIG deck on top of Hanayo-Three, Blazing Flame Dance. On the imagined battlefield, a torrent of fire consumed Hanayo as Marron and Epona could only watch on in awe at this spectacle. As the flames died down, Hanayo emerged onto the battlefield in her newly changed form. She now wore a red dress in the style of a rose with a prickly thorn curling upwards and hangly freely just behind her. She also wore a crown on top of her head along with a headress tied to the back of her hair.

"No way... A Level 4?" murmured Aichi. 'Yuzuki' nodded, confirming his suspicions.

"That is correct," she answered "Hanayo-Four, Hundred-Fire Profusion. With her ability, I drop a Red SIGNI to banish Epona!" On the battlefield, Hanayo held out her hand, causing the thorn wrapped around her dress to thrust forward, knocking the beetle off balance and piercing through Epona's armor. After the two fell to the ground, they vanished in an instant. Back to reality, Aichi could only grit his teeth as he looked at the current scenario. Kazuki could only look grimly at him, knowing that this battle had just turned into an uphill struggle for the cardfighter and 'Yuzuki' wasn't even close to finished.

"Summon!" she called as she dropped 3 SIGNI into the spaces in front of Hanayo's card. "Let's go! Admasphere attacks Marron!" Aichi could only flip up his first Life Cloth revealing Swordsman of the Explosive Flames, Palamedes. No Life Burst was present on the card though.

"Bronda!" 'Yuzuki' declared. As Aichi moved for one of the cards in his hand, she looked at him.

"It's useless!" she called "You can't use any Guard SIGNI to block any SIGNI attacks!" When Aichi revealed the card he was intending to use however, 'Yuzuki's' expression suddenly changed to utter surprise as she saw the symbol in its text box.

"Plume Wall Angel!" Aichi called "Quintet Wall!" As he moved Epona's card to his trash, he picked up the top 5 cards of his deck and flipped them face up, revealing Defending Seeker, Shiron, Seeker, Loving Healer, another Plume Wall Angel, Axe, Large Breaker and Servant D.

"With these 5 SIGNI," he explained "I block your attack and move these to my Ener Zone. As for Plume Wall Angel, that was sent to my Trash as a cost for the Quintet Wall." 'Yuzuki' could only blink in surprise. She had briefly skimmed through the cards in Aichi's deck whilst he was still unconscious and a part of her was now annoyed for not looking closely enough at all of the cards for details like this. Nonetheless, she knew that she still had the advantage for the time being and planned on keeping it as it was.

"One more Bronda!" Aichi did nothing more than check his next Life Cloth, revealing Seeker, Loving Healer.

"Got a Life Burst! I regain a Life Cloth with the top card of my deck!"

"Hanayo attacks!" 'Yuzuki' declared.

"Shiron guards!" replied Aichi.

Kazuki could only let out a sigh of relief that the cardfighter was still managing to keep it together. After Aichi moved Shiron's card to his Trash he could only look back at 'Yuzuki', feeling daunted by the offensive lineup that she had created from the double Superior Grow. He could just imagine sweating from the intense heat that would have been stirred up from Hanayo's current form, that is if it was a Selector Battle in which he had no knowledge about that subject. However, he could still see that there was one fatal flaw with that strategem.

"Turn end," she spoke.

(End Music)

End of Turn 3

Aichi vs 'Yuzuki'

Hand - 3 : 1

Life Cloths - 6 : 5

Current LRIGs - Little Sage, Marron : Hanayo-Four, Hundred Fire Profusion

SIGNI : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY : Bronda, Natural Stone - Bronda, Natural Stone - Admasphere, Natural Stone

Ener - 8 : 1

As Aichi drew his cards, he searched through his LRIG deck for the one card that could help him turn around the situation of the battle. He looked at the card closely, feeling guilty for not telling either Kazuki or 'Yuzuki' about where he came from or that his cards had existed from another game but he felt that telling them a bit more about himself and why he was here couldn't hurt a little. Right now, Aichi had a battle to focus on and now was the time to bring 'him' into action. After moving Palamedes from his Ener Zone to his Trash, he held the card in question high above him.

(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Tachiagare! Boku no Bunshin!)

"Stand up, my Avatar!" he called out, briefly catching the attention of Kazuki and 'Yuzuki' before placing the card on top of Marron. "Grow! Blaster Blade!"

On the battlefield, a flash of light enveloped Marron before erupting into a large white column. Hanayo stood mesmirised by this before the flash of light died down to reveal Aichi's avatar in all of his glory. Blaster Blade opened his green eyes as he stood his sword down in front of him, the hands still clasped ahold of the handle.

"Using Blaster Blade's ability," Aichi explained "I send Admasphere to your Trash!"

Blaster Blade raised his sword up before striking it into the ground creating a white shockwave that raged across the battlefield until it hit Admasphere dead on, eliminating her from the battle. Back to reality, 'Yuzuki' could only clench her teeth from the fact that Aichi's avatar had single handedly taken out one portion of her strongest offence with little effort and the Quintet Wall he used last turn had contributed to that.

Blaster Blade, this is your power she thought But this battle is far from over.

"I summon another Epona," Aichi continued "And use the ARTS Avon to add two copies of the Knight of Silence, Gallatin to my hand which I'll then summon."

After shuffling his deck, he placed the two Gallatin cards on the SIGNI zones opposite those of 'Yuzuki's' two Brondas. Over on the battlefield, two knights with orange scarves wrapped around their neck armor along with a red blindfold covering their eyes joined Epona on the front line, both in front of and alongside Blaster Blade. Aichi first turned his attention to the two copies of the Knight of Silence.

"My Gallatins attack your Brondas!" he called. 'Yuzuki' said nothing as she moved the defeated SIGNI to her Ener Zone. Kazuki could only watch on in awe at how Aichi was steadily progressing in the battle.

He's actually on a completely different level he thought It's his first time playing Wixoss and yet, the whole flow of the game seems natural to him. Just how skilled is Aichi?

"Epona attacks!" Aichi declared. 'Yuzuki' revealed her next Life Cloth, revealing Garnet who had a Life Burst present.

"With the effect," she spoke "I draw."

"Let's go, Blaster Blade!" he called.

"Servant O!" 'Yuzuki' responded as she revealed the card before placing it in her trash. Aichi looked slightly disappointed, but decided to not let it get the better of him.

"Turn end."

End of Turn 4

Aichi vs 'Yuzuki'

Hand - 3 : 1

Life Cloths - 6 : 4

Current LRIGs - Blaster Blade : Hanayo-Four, Hundred Fire Profusion

SIGNI : Bringer of Good Luck, Epona - Knight of Silence, Gallatin - Knight of Silence, Gallatin : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY

Ener - 2 : 4

Aichi continued to look closely at 'Yuzuki', wondering what she had in store for him on her next turn before hearing her mutter something under her breath. It was too quiet for him to make out what she was saying, but it did attract his curiousity.

(End Music)

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

"I... it's nothing," she said "Your Blaster Blade certainly packed quite a punch. I was just curious, how did you come across these cards anyway?"

"W... well, a friend of mine gave me Blaster Blade," Aichi answered "But he's missing and I was hoping to find him soon. Say, you wouldn't happen to come across a person named, Kai Toshiki?" At this point, Kazuki's eyes widened when he heard the name cross his mind.

"K... Kai Toshiki?" he murmured.

"You've seen him?" asked Aichi.

"No," answered 'Yuzuki' as she shook her head "But I've heard whispers going around about a Wixoss player with that name that wields a dragon as his LRIG."

"That's Kai-kun for you," he replied before holding his head down. "I was hoping to find him to see where he had disappeared off to, but now it looks like I'm back to square one."

"I'll tell you what," said Kazuki "Once you and Yuzuki finish your game, we'll do what we can to help you find him."

"Thank you very much!" Aichi called with reassurance. 'Yuzuki' could only smile a little for the cardfighter, but still remained curious on a certain level. Just what kind of aura did she feel from Blaster Blade, how had Aichi known about a guy whose name was only recently murmured around her school? She felt like she'd find the answers in due time, but for now, she and Aichi had a game to finish.

"Now that we've done exchanging plans," she said "Perhaps we can continue?"

"Yeah," replied Aichi "It's your turn now." 'Yuzuki' nodded as she drew her cards in advance before dropping off 3 of the cards in her Ener Zone to her trash. She picked out one card from her LRIG deck that she placed on top of Hanayo's current form.

"Grow, Hanayo-Five!" she called. On the imagined battlefield, a blazing torrent of flames consumed Hanayo's current form causing Epona, the two Gallatins and Blaster Blade to shield their eyes from the intense heat. When the fire had died down, the top half of her dress had mostly vanished as she now carried a variety of long thorns in her right hand whilst an ember burned brightly in her left. Aichi could only look down at the card, knowing that the battle wasn't going to get any easier from here on in.


And there we go! After being pushed into a corner from a double Superior Grow from the real Hanayo, Aichi struggles to stay in the battle with a very large gap to make up for. Meanwhile, Kai rethinks over the way things have been going in this world and whilst he is still struggling to make a decision as to how he will try again to get back Ruko with her friends and family, he decides now is the time for him to ask Tama for answers as to what really happened. What will happen next? Will Aichi and Kai along with the rest of the group reunite soon or do outside forces have other plans for them? Find out on the next chapter. Don't forget to follow, favourite and/or leave a review! Until then!

*Just to clarify that this is still Hanayo in Yuzuki's body, for those who have already watched Selector Infected Wixoss. Keep in mind that neither Aichi or Kazuki know of this.
