Hello again everyone! Before we get into today's chapter, I've got one question that I need to go ahead and answer (this time, not mixing up anyone's names).
Q1: catboy97 - Are you going to reference any other series that is in the Wixoss card game like Code Anti Doronjo and Code Art CVY?
A: Interesting point you've brought up. I can't say for sure if I'll end up doing so, but I'll definitely look into seeing what I can do around that subject.
Other than that, hope you enjoy this chapter.
Wixoss World: Kai's Rented Apartment
"Kai wants... answers?"
Tama could only look up at the cardfighter, curious as to why he was now asking her over this current matter. But with everything that happened between her and Ruko, she couldn't blame him for wanting to ask her about what really happened. Kai himself kept his gaze directed at her, knowing that he wasn't going to take a blank for an answer.
"That's right," he replied "We all know of what happened on that night. You refused to go through with the oath that Ruko intended to initiate. As from what Yuzuki has told us, the Selector who initiates that oath correctly becomes an LRIG after a brief meeting with Mayu whilst their LRIG takes over their body. But the question I want to ask is why. Why did you refuse to follow the oath?"
"... Tama... Tama didn't want Ru to become an LRIG," she answered "Tama didn't want to see her trapped. Not after..." Tama suddenly bit her lip, unable to continue her answer.
"Not after what?" asked Kai. The LRIG gulped as she came around to the part that she was keeping from everyone this whole time.
"... It was during Ru's last battle," she explained "Before Ru tried to do the oath... Tama... Tama saw Mayu."
"You met Mayu?!" Tama nodded before looking back up at him to continue her explanation.
"Mayu said Tama didn't want to grant Ru's wish," she continued "Tama didn't want to go through with the oath because... Tama would be alone and... Tama wanted to save Ru, from Mayu!"
Kai couldn't find the words to describe what he was hearing, but everything was finally making sense to him. Tama had 'betrayed' Ruko on that night with the intention of saving her from becoming an LRIG and most likely playing along with Mayu's game. To some extent, the LRIG had succeeded with good intention, but the result was anything but good. Ruko was now cursed by Link Joker's influence emitting from Iona whenever she used her Level 5 form and Tama was blaming herself for bringing her friend into the mess she was in.
"I understand now," Kai spoke.
"Kai?"
"If I recall everything Yuzuki had told me from first coming here," he said "Then when a Selector becomes an Eternal Girl, the LRIG who takes over their body is burdened to complete their original wish. The reason you betrayed Ruko on that night was because you couldn't bear the thought of losing her as an LRIG to another Selector as well as feeling that you couldn't carry the burden of her wish."
"It's true," Tama answered sadly "But Tama can't... Tama can't make things... right..."
"You can make things right!" Kai replied "When I next go into battle with Ruko, you need to tell her everything so she can see that your intentions and action was not to bring her into her current state!"
"But Kai lost to Ru before! And, Kai was taken over by Link Joker then!"
Kai was about to open his mouth in response, but paused for a moment. Even though the battle was called off from a mysterious energy interference causing the field to collapse, he knew he had technically lost to Ruko at that time. The fact that he had been in the thrall of Link Joker once again, only this time for a brief few moments, only made him more uncomfortable about the current situation at hand. In addition, he remembered Ruko saying something about him that he shouldn't have become involved. Was it because he was technically not an ordinary Selector or the fact that she expected that he would never understand about what was actually going on. Either way, he knew that as long as Iona's attacks would keep resonating with the Seed fragment stuck inside of him, he knew there was a chance of either him or Ruko or even both becoming permanently reversed. But that was the least of the problems flowing through his head right now. He got up from his seat and walked towards the bathroom.
"Kai?" murmured Tama.
He didn't respond as he closed the door behind him, leaving the LRIG to wonder about what was going on with him.
Kurebayashi Apartment
Aichi could only stare at the LRIG card he was currently opposing, Hanayo-Five. He had already been pushed into a tough spot from a double Superior Grow on 'Yuzuki's' previous turn and despite managing to get control of the field for now thanks to Blaster Blade, the twin sister of Kazuki looked like she was in a very strong position to win.
"Hanayo-Five's Exceed Skill!" she declared.
(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Breaking the Limit)
As the five other forms of Hanayo were moved from underneath Hanayo-Five to 'Yuzuki's' LRIG Trash, Aichi could only look on from imagining of what was about to happen next.
"With this ability," she explained "I banish all of your SIGNI!"
On the imagined battlefield, the ember held in Hanayo's left hand suddenly erupted into a raging inferno that consumed the two Gallatins and Epona, burning them to nothing but ash. Blaster Blade shielded his eyes, trying his best not to end up blinded by the sudden intense heat. When the flames died down, there was now nothing between him and Hanayo whose serious gaze remained trained upon him. Back to reality, Aichi could only sweat a little as he moved his banished SIGNI to his Ener Zone before looking back at 'Yuzuki', feeling as if she wasn't stopping there.
"Summon!" she called "With Hanayo's ability, all of my SIGNI gain Double Crush at all times!"
"All of them?!" gasped Aichi.
"That's not all," 'Yuzuki' continued "By using up the only card left in my Ener, I use the ARTS One Rule, Two Birds to give Hanayo that same power up and you can't use any Level 1 SIGNI to guard her next attack!"
"Then this means..." murmured Kazuki "She's planning to finish off Aichi right here and now."
What amazing power Aichi thought I had no idea Yuzuki could clear away my field so easily and power up her SIGNI continously like that. The closest person I can think of doing something similar is Kai-kun.
"Let's go!" called 'Yuzuki' "Attack!"
As Aichi could only clench his teeth, on the imagined battlefield, Blaster Blade could only watch as the attacks from Iron, Obsidian and Mithril consumed in a whirlwind of flames. The warrior groaned loudly in pain as the flames charred away at his armor, sapping all of his strength away from him. When the smoke and fire had eventually cleared up, he was on his feet, just barely managing to stand up with the aid of his sword. Aichi meanwhile could only look down on his side of the field at his current scenario.
"Since they all had Double Crush," he murmured "All my Life Cloths have been crushed." He then looked back at 'Yuzuki'. "But I won't give up! Check!"
One by one, Aichi revealed the Life Cloths that 'Yuzuki's' SIGNI had ended up crushing from their attacks. The first one revealed Honest Seeker, Cynric, nothing of help for his current scenario though. The second and third cards revealed God Eater, Ultimate Sword and Knight of Silence, Gallatin. When he flipped up the fourth Life Cloth, Aichi could only let out a small sigh of relief.
"With Large Breaker's Life Burst," he explained "I search my deck and add God Eater, Ultimate Sword to my hand." After shuffling the deck though, the tension had quickly returned as he turned his attention to his last two Life Cloths. Flipping the next one up, he revealed another copy of Cynric, no Life Burst present this time. After placing the card in his Ener Zone, Aichi nervously turned his attention to the last one. He knew if it wasn't something that could help him now, Hanayo's next attack could finish the game right now. He gripped onto the card tightly before flipping it over, shocking everyone else present in the room. The last card was Seeker, Loving Healer. Aichi could only smile and sigh in relief from the sudden turn of events.
"With her effect," Aichi spoke "I regain one Life Cloth with the top card of my deck."
"Tsk! So I can't finish you this turn," murmured 'Yuzuki' "But I still have one more attack! Go Hanayo!"
"Servant D guards!"
On the imagined battlefield, Hanayo unleashed a torrent of raging fire right towards Blaster Blade as the Guard SIGNI appeared in front of them both. Although Servant D was incinerated in a moment, that had given Blaster Blade just enough time to raise his sword upwards to split the attack to ensure it went around him and not through him. Back to reality, 'Yuzuki' could say nothing more as she looked over towards Aichi.
"Turn end."
(End Music)
Aichi vs 'Yuzuki'
End of Turn 5
Hand - 2 : 0
Life Cloths - 1 : 4
Current LRIGs - Blaster Blade : Hanayo-Five
SIGNI : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY : Obsidian, Natural Stone - Iron, Natural Stone - Mithril, Natural Stone
Ener - 8 : 0
He just hung on thought Kazuki But with the way things are looking, Aichi may be able to turn the tables now.
"Up and draw," said Aichi. Looking over his hand, he decided that Ener Charging at this point was not worth it and moved two of the cards in his Ener Zone to his Trash. He then looked through his LRIG deck over the cards he had left over and stopped for a moment, a sad expression present on his face for a brief moment as he gazed at one card in particular. 'Yuzuki' noticed this and looked towards him in concern.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
"I... it's nothing," Aichi replied, having been snapped out of his daze all of a sudden. Turning his attention to a different card from the one he looked at, he made up his mind and held it up high.
"Enter the fray, king of all knights!" he called as he placed the card on top of Blaster Blade. "Grow! Light Source Seeker, Alfred Exiv!"
Back on the battlefield imagined in both Aichi and 'Yuzuki's' minds, a bright light caused Blaster Blade to vanish before a new figure emerged in his place. Standing tall and firmly on the ground, Alfred held out his large sword pointed towards Hanayo. The King of Knights had white silverish armor with several blue lines running across and some gold trims present. 'Yuzuki' could only look down at Alfred's card, curious as to how Aichi intended to use him to turn around the current situation, but that wasn't the only thought on her mind.
That same aura... she thought These Royal Paladin LRIGs aren't like the ones used by Selectors, but they still have that exact same feeling emitting from them. More of less though...
Aichi could only look down at Alfred, hoping that he could use him to his full potential whilst he still had an opportunity to do so.
"I summon!" he called as he placed down Sacred Wielding Seeker, Octavius and Swordsman of the Explosive Flames, Palamedes in front of Alfred. Kazuki watched on from the sidelines, curious as to what else the cardfighter had up his sleeve.
"With Octavius' abilty," he continued "I Exceed 2 and draw 1 card." After moving Blaster Blade and Marron from beneath Alfred to his LRIG Trash, Aichi drew his single card. He then looked back towards 'Yuzuki'.
"The King of Knights does not stand alone," he said before holding his hand above the card. "Seek mate!"
(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Pinchi wo Yuuki he!)
"Seek mate?!"
Aichi looked through his Trash and picked out of the cards present there Palamedes, Ultimate Sword and Large Breaker before shuffling them back into his main deck. Whilst 'Yuzuki' could only watch on in wonder of what was about to happen next, Kazuki stared closely at Alfred Exiv's card, suddenly noticing a strange marking that he had not noticed earlier on the left hand side of the card border. Aichi then picked up Blaster Blade's card from the LRIG Trash and held it high into the air.
"Stand up once more my Avatar! Blaster Blade!" he called before placing the card right alongside Alfred's to the left hand side.
"Legion!"
Over on the imagined battlefield, Alfred raised his sword into the air as a bright yellow light shot upwards into the skyline before a figure emerged from the glow. His appearance all too familiar, Blaster Blade descended from the bright light and landed on his feet alongside the King of Knights. As the two Royal Paladins held the tips of their swords out forming a cross of some sort, a brief flash revealed a bright yellow symbol for a few seconds. The symbol ressembled two swords crossing over each other, symbolizing the forged bond between Blaster Blade and Alfred.
"Two LRIGs in the same spot?!" gasped 'Yuzuki' "Is this Legion?!"
"Blaster Blade's skill!" Aichi cut in "Obsidian is sent to your trash!" 'Yuzuki' could do nothing more than move her strongest SIGNI from her current formation to her Trash after seeing that the cardfighter had paid the cost for Blaster Blade's ability. Kazuki blinked for a brief moment, having only noticed Alfred briefly when he taught Aichi the basic rules of Wixoss. He did not notice Alfred's Legion Symbol from before and now, it looked like the cardfighter was now in a stronger position to win.
"Now that Alfred is in Legion," Aichi continued "His Level goes up by 1 and his Limit increases by 3!"
"So then," murmured 'Yuzuki' "You can now summon Level 4 SIGNI from that manuever." Aichi nodded before summoning God Eater, Ultimate Sword to the field and turning his attention to Alfred and Blaster Blade.
"Legion Skill!" he called "Since I have a full formation, including a Seeker SIGNI and the fact I have at least 5 cards on my field with Seeker in their names, Alfred gains Double Crush at all times!" 'Yuzuki' could only sweat a little when she realized she had nothing in her hand to Guard Aichi's next attack. But after looking back at the Life Cloths she had left, she regained some of her composure quite quickly.
"Palamedes attacks Iron!" Aichi declared "Since I have at least 2 Level 3 or greater SIGNI and LRIGs, he gains 3000 power until the end of the battle."
Swordsman of the Explosive Flames, Palamedes: 8000 - 11000
'Yuzuki' could only groan as Palamedes easily took out Obsidian whilst God Eater, Ultimate Sword made quick work of Mithril.
"Octavius attacks!" Aichi called.
'Yuzuki' revealed her next Life Cloth, Sword of Shining Desire. She could only groan in annoyance that she didn't get anything helpful to help her defend against the oncoming attack from Alfred and Blaster Blade. Sighing, she moved the card over to her Ener Zone. With reassurance on his side, Aichi held his hand over Alfred and Blaster Blade's cards before downing them together.
"King of Knights and my Avatar," he spoke "Join your might and bring hope to the battlefield! Legion Attack!"
On the imagined battlefield, an aura surrounded both Blaster Blade and Alfred as they took a mighty leap into the air before diving down towards Hanayo at large speed. The LRIG threw the thorned vine like a whip towards the two Royal Paladins, but their combined efforts with their swords made quick work of slicing through the natural weapon and landing a clean strike on Hanayo. 'Yuzuki' flipped up her next two Life Cloths revealing Bronda, Natural Stone and Admasphere, Natural Pyroxene, the second card revealing a Life Burst.
"With this effect," she spoke "I banish Palamedes!" Aichi didn't say anything in response, but moved Palamedes' card to his Ener Zone in disappointment.
"Turn end."
(End Music)
Aichi vs 'Yuzuki'
End of Turn 6
Hand - 2 : 0
Life Cloths - 1 : 1
Current LRIGs - Light Source Seeker, Alfred Exiv (Legioned with Blaster Blade) : Hanayo-Five
SIGNI : Sacred Wielding Seeker, Octavius - EMPTY - God Eater, Ultimate Sword : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY
Ener - 4 : 4
"Amazing," mumured Kazuki "His Legion allowed him to overcome his earlier problem of not having a Level 4 LRIG and by being able to use Blaster Blade's ability again, he's managed to tie it up."
"Legion..." muttered 'Yuzuki' "I wasn't even aware something like that existed." She then glanced back at Aichi, noticing the determined expression still present on his face.
"But things end now!" she called "You have an empty space and I have plenty of Ener to use thanks to your attacks."
"Yeah," replied Aichi "It won't be easy for me to last out any longer, I know that. But I won't give up until the end."
Until the end. That's what I taught Yuzuki after her defeat at Akira's hands she thought This boy, he reminds me of 'her' somehow. That confidence he has and that determination in his eyes, it's almost identical. Clearing her thoughts after a brief moment, 'Yuzuki' turned her attention back to the game.
"Up and draw," she spoke before smiling. "You were lucky Aichi. Had I drawn this on my previous turn, you would have already lost."
"Eh? What do you mean Yuzuki-san?" he asked.
(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Shouri no Fanfare)
"I'll show you after her I summon her," she explained before placing the card down on the field, revealed to be Diabride, Natural Pyroxene before she then placed Orichalc, Natural Stone beside it. Kazuki's eyes widened as he suddenly realized what she was talking about.
"I see now!" he gasped.
"What do you mean Kazuki?" asked Aichi.
"Whenever Diabride is in the Down state whilst she crushes 2 or more Life Cloths in the same turn," he explained "She immediatly stands back up again. Because Hanayo-Five's ability gives her Double Crush at all times, unless you had a Quintet Wall to fend her off as you showed us earlier, Yuzuki could keep standing up Diabride for an infinite number of attacks until the final strike from either her last attack or any of her other SIGNI would have finished Blaster Blade then."
"That's correct," said 'Yuzuki "Because you only have one Life Cloth left thanks to that Loving Healer of yours and the fact I didn't draw into Diabride last turn, I can't use that infinite attack combo to my advantage. But this battle is still over anyway as I now power up Hanayo with another One Rule, Two Birds and take out Ultimate Sword with Firefly Sparks!" Aichi could only feel a little nerved when he moved Ultimate Sword's card to his Ener Zone, having just remembered the precarious situation he was still in. Then he suddenly remembered a certain card that could help his as he moved Ultimate Sword's card immediatly into his Trash before searching through his LRIG deck for that one card.
"With Pinch Defense," he explained as he revealed the card "I prevent Hanayo and Diabride from attacking this turn!" 'Yuzuki' rather than feeling disappointed was actually smiling.
"How foolish," she replied "Diabride's ability allows me to damage you without attacking every time one of my Gem or Ore SIGNI are affected by one of your ARTS!"
As Aichi could only gasp out in shock, on the imagined battlefield, Diabride forced her hand through the barrier holding her back before summoning a small ember. Crushing that ember with her same hand, she sent out a shower of fiery sparks that singed both Alfred and Blaster Blade who quickly swatted off the small embers from their armor. Realizing what this had meant, Aichi flipped over his final Life Cloth revealing Servant D which allowed him to Ener Charge.
"This battle has now come to an end," spoke 'Yuzuki' as she was about to down Orichalc's card. "Let's go Aichi! Attack!" Aichi quickly reached for one of the cards in his hand as 'Yuzuki's' expression suddenly changed to that of shock. The card that was revealed was Seeker, Plume Wall Angel.
"Quintet Wall!" he called as he flipped over the top five cards revealing Gallatin, Servant D, Shiron, Axe and Sacred Wielding Seeker, Octavius.
"Impossible..." she muttered "You had another Quintet Wall all this time?!" Aichi said nothing as he moved the five revealed SIGNI to his Ener Zone whilst she could only groan in annoyance.
"Turn... end."
"That was really good Yuzuki," said Aichi "You almost had me from being caught off guard by Diabride's second ability. I definitely wasn't expecting that."
"I suppose," she said before looking back at her last Life Cloth, eyeing it closely. "But I don't intend on going down without a good fight."
"Mhm," he replied "Here I go!" Aichi downed Octavius' card to signal his attack on Hanayo. 'Yuzuki' flipped her final Life Cloth revealing Servant O allowing her to Ener Charge, but she knew that it didn't make any difference to the situation. She huffed for a moment before smiling.
"Oh well," she sighed "You win Aichi." He smiled back and nodded before turning his attention Alfred and Blaster Blade, downing their cards. On the imagined battlefield, the Swordsman of Light and the King of Knights charged towards Hanayo who lashed out both a large ball of fire and her thorn towards the pair. The fireball was enough to slow down Alfred to a stop, but Blaster Blade easily slashed through the thorn before delivering the final blow to the LRIG.
(End Music)
"Congratulations, Sendou Aichi," said 'Yuzuki "Despite being new to Wixoss, you seem to be a natural to adjust with your cards that quickly."
"Eh... I guess learning a different game beforehand does have its benefits," he replied whilst scratching his head. Kazuki smiled for the both of them, happy that they were able to have a good time during their game. 'Yuzuki' felt the same way for Aichi as well, but still remained curious about the 'aura' she felt around his Royal Paladin LRIGs, Blaster Blade in particular. She then glanced to his LRIG deck, noticing only a few cards left inside of it. 'Yuzuki' suddenly remembered back to the battle where before Aichi grew Alfred and turned the tables with Legion, he seemed have a sad expression for a brief moment.
"Do you not mind if I look again?" she asked.
"I don't mind," said Aichi. 'Yuzuki' took the cards and looked closely at them once again. Having looked through Aichi's deck for a brief glance, she remembered the name of one of the cards all too well. Pure Heart Jewel Knight, Ashlei. As she looked closely at it, she looked back at Aichi, noticing his expression had gone down a little bit.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
"T... This card is a copy of one that belonged to a close friend of mine*," he answered "I keep it as a memorial of sort."
"I see," murmured 'Yuzuki as she returned the card to Aichi. "Sorry if I went on a touchy subject."
"It's alright," he said as he cheered up quickly "You didn't mean any harm." He then glanced over towards the clock in the living space, realizing that the morning had gone by quite quickly from their game.
"I should go and get dressed before I go out looking for Kai," he said.
"It's alright," said Kazuki "Take as much time as you need."
"Thank you very much!" replied Aichi as he picked up his bag before going into Kazuki's bedroom and closing the door behind him.
Kai's Rented Apartment
Kai gazed into the mirror that hung over the bathroom sink, deep into thought over what had happened back then near the end of his battle with Ruko.
I don't understand... he thought I know I must face Ruko to save her from Link Joker's influence and to help Tama reconcile with her. And yet, I can't shake this uneasy feeling in my chest.
(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Herald of Despair)
"That's your destiny calling to you."
Kai's eyes widened in horror upon hearing that voice before he looked back at the mirror to see an image he was hoping to never see again. It was his own reflection, but it seemed very different and yet, all too familiar. The reverse markings were present underneath the reflection's eyes as well as that same sinister glint was present in his eyes as he smiled right before the real Kai.
"You may refuse to admit it," the mirror image spoke "But that same power has not completely left you."
"Shut it!" Kai roared in response "I'm no longer that same person from back then!"
"You may believe you had let go of it," the mirror Kai spoke "But Reverse will always remain a part of you."
Kai had about enough with what he was hearing. Seething with anger, he raised back his arm and thrust his fist towards the mirror.
(Music Abruptly Ends)
At the very last second however, he stopped in mid punch, heavily breathing after seeing his own normal reflection once again and hearing the phone in his pocket go off. Picking it out of his pocket, he could see that it was Hitoe who was calling him up. After looking back at the mirror once again for a brief moment and regaining his composure, he answered the call coming over to him.
"Hello," he said.
"Kai, is that you?" Hitoe asked from the other end.
"Yeah," he replied "Is everything alright?"
"Mhm," she answered "Yuzuki and I just wanted to make sure you were alright after what happened." Kai however could only sigh at this point, wondering if he was even alright with himself.
"Besides," Hitoe continued "I've managed to get a copy of the Wixoss novels that Fumio mentioned the other day and Yuzuki was thinking we should see if we could find any clues in them."
"I understand," said Kai "I'll meet you at the library later."
"Okay then. Goodbye!" After the call was finished, Kai put his phone back into his trouser pocket and exited the bathroom, but not before taking a glance back at the mirror. Just to make sure, he was still himself.
Outside of the Kurebayashi Apartment
"We'll split up so we can cover more ground," said Kazuki "Hopefully this way, it will be easier for us to find this Kai so Aichi can be on his way."
"I can't thank you two enough for everything," replied Aichi as he got his bag held on his back. "Though I hope I'm not asking for too much."
"It will be alright," spoke 'Yuzuki' "If things don't work out as well as we hoped, you're always welcome to stay with us until you need to be on your way." Aichi happily nodded as 'Yuzuki' began to walk off in one direction. Before Aichi could follow her however, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Kazuki's hand to be more precise as he turned around to see the older sibling with a concerned look on his face.
"Is everything alright Kazuki?" he asked.
"Aichi," said Kazuki "I have a small favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"Whilst you and 'Yuzuki' look for Kai," he explained "Can you keep an eye on her? I've been worried that she may be acting unusual."
"I understand," replied Aichi "I'll tell you if anything's wrong." Kazuki smiled in relief, knowing he could trust the cardfighter with just a small request.
"Aichi!" called 'Yuzuki' as she waved her hand to get his attention. The cardfighter briefly turned back to Kazuki and bowed before waving goodbye and running to join her. Kazuki waved back goodbye and headed off in the opposite direction, concern having returned to him all of a sudden.
'The White Room'
(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Eternal Girl)
Mayu sat silently on her throne, moving between the various windows of her domain. She continued to watch how the Selector Battles would play out, curious as to the victors and the losers were faring for her personal amusement as well as any Eternal Girls she could be meeting soon. When one battle she was watching eventually drew to a close, Photon appeared in her presence. She got up from her chair, turned around and walked towards him.
"How does 'she' fare?" she asked.
"Stable," he answered "My forces had a slight hiccup due to the energy interference from last night, but their work on 'Project: Locked Soul' continues as normal. Her status as of now remains 50% complete."
"Excellent," said Mayu "Send my regards to 'The Clown'* that the battles continue to play out smoothly in my favor."
"However," Photon continued "There is one concern I wish to address. Are sure it is wise to allow the cardfighter who possessed the unit that destroyed "Omega" Glendios to roam freely in the battles you created?"
"Rest assured Photon, Aichi will be of no threat," she replied "Ulith already knows that his greatest strength can also become his worst weakness. Even so, we have the 'perfect bait'."
Photon said nothing in response. He knew that despite his cautious approach on the matter of the cardfighter appearing in this world, Mayu had made a very good point. Running the scenario that could be drawn up in his head thanks to first hand knowledge given to Ulith, he could only smile as he turned around and left back for the area where his forces and superiors, including this 'Project: Locked Soul', awaited. When Photon was no longer present in the room, Mayu gazed out into the dark void that surrounded the White Room through one of the windows, a smile becoming present on her lips as she patiently awaited the aftermath of what would come.
(End Music)
And there we go! To top off the battle, you guys finally get the first taste of Legion in the world of Wixoss! In case you were wondering, the ability like in Vanguard can be activated at any time during the Main Phase. To find out how Legion works after the condition I just mentioned, look up the first ability of Alfred Exiv on the Royal Paladin card adjustments page (link to which is in my profile). And speaking of stuff in my profile, the vote as to who will be focused on next is stuck in a dead heat between Naoki and Ren. Sometime tommorrow, I will reset the poll so you can decide which of those two will be focused on in the next two chapters. The one with the fewer votes from the reset poll will get the two chapters after and poor Leon who didn't get any votes at all will be focused on last (his chapters however are set before Aichi's, just to warn you and... minor spoiler). Anyway, don't forget to follow, favourite and/or leave a review! Until then!
*Yep. Although she won't play a major role in the story and her memories are still gone, I thought I'd give Aichi something to still have him remember the good times he shared with Kourin before she lost those memories.
*If any of you have read the Vanguard Lores and were able to recognize the weapon that the shadow held in Tama's flashback two chapters ago, you would have already figured out the unit who goes by that name.
