Hello again everyone! We're finally at the point where we go over the events of how Leon got to Aichi near the end of last chapter. And I also have some good news for those wondering about Tawil if I was planning anything with her. Yes, I will give her a role in the later story arcs of the fic (with someone to give her to by that point) and up the existing card count from the Wixoss card game up to Fortune Selector as a result of this. Not much else to say other than I hope you enjoy the first of two chapters around the Aqua Force user's journey to the present time of last chapter.


Approximately 18 hours ago (Some time after Kai and Ruko's battle) ...

Fumio's Apartment

(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Trembling Miracle)

Fumio glanced out towards the evening sky through the open curtain in her bedroom. The day that had already played out so far had indeed brought her some intriguing results. She finally decided that today was the time for her and her LRIG, Anne, to approach Kai for answers in regards to recent events concerning his arrival into this world. Needless to say, the Kagero user had indeed provided her with some answers of intrigue whilst also leading to more questions. More notes that she jotted down earlier after returning back to her apartment were stuck on her computer monitor, one of them reading out "Cray" and "Unit" with lines drawing out from the two terms towards the one that had her puzzled the most prior to her earlier confrontation "Vanguard".

Anne over from her card, glanced down at the note at where Fumio had managed to jot down the changed 'prophecy' that occured on the back of her cards. Several of the terms that the Selector had jotted down on the note she now stuck on her computer monitor were also jotted beside several of the lines, including a few more notes on several other lines of the text. Kai's name was on the left side of the first line whilst on the right side, beside the part where it mentioned "a heavy burden of sin", she couldn't help but shudder a little from what was jotted there and from the fact that Kai himself briefly mentioned it, who could blame her. Jotted beside that section, was "Link Joker".

Getting herself together from that brief note, she glanced down at Fumio's left hand, noticing a card that was mostly concealed, except for one tiny part of the border. The colour and part of the icon that represented it. The card seemed to have a Grey colour with a slight red hint from what was shown of the border and the symbol was mostly hidden from the shadow of Fumio's hand, the only visible part showing what appeared to be the edge of a circular object.* Anne seemed puzzled by this, she didn't recall Fumio obtaining any new cards recently, especially the one that she now had concealed from her. Before the LRIG could press on her Selector about this, a blinding flash suddenly enveloped the room, almost blinding the pair and allowing Fumio to quickly slip the card she held into her desk drawer.

"This is…!"

Both Selector and LRIG struggled to make out from what the bright light was emitting. Fumio had to shield her only visible eye to avoid being blinded by the intense flash. The light continued emitting brightly for several more moments before a figure suddenly fell out onto the bedroom floor. The light dimmed out to nothingness as both Fumio and Anne regained their vision, now seeing who had landed in their vicinity. It was Leon and from how things appeared, his landing had proven to not have been very comfortable.

"Well… this is… unusual…" Anne murmured. Fumio said nothing, glancing down at the Aqua Force user. Leon looked all around, noticing the various novels that were stacked among the shelves in her bedroom. He then looked up at the Selector, noting her gaze was directed upon him. He slowly stood up, slightly wincing in pain, having not fully recovered from the rough trip or landing.

(End Music)

"I apologize for my inconvenient appearance," he replied "I did not intend to appear in your room as a result of my journey."

"Who are you?" asked Fumio.

"Soryu Leon," he answered as he finally stood up. "And you are?"

"Futase Fumio," she replied.

"Strange…" Anne muttered "But it could have been worse."

Leon's right ear suddenly twitched as he heard the LRIG ramble to herself, catching both his attention and possible interest. He glanced over towards her card, catching both Anne herself and Fumio by surprise.

(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Tadayou Kehai)

"You can see me?" the LRIG spoke. Leon nodded, confirming both her's and Fumio's suspicions. "I am Anne," she continued "I'm Fumio's LRIG."

"So we have another 'one'," the Selector spoke "Almost like the other "boy" Selector, Kai Toshiki." Leon looked back over at Fumio, having now realized that he had gotten closer to his current goal of locating Kai in this other world. The only problem he now had was that he was separated from Aichi, Naoki and Ren and they could have ended up anywhere in this unknown world. Regardless though, he had managed to find someone who had known about Kai, but that had only lead to more questions. Why did she refer to him as a boy Selector? Why could he see an alive girl inside of a card that was now present on her desk? More or less, why did she call herself Fumio's LRIG? He had a feeling however that the answers to those questions were about to become clear.

"So you know of Kai," he spoke "I assume that you have encountered him."

"That is correct," Fumio answered "I approached him earlier today with the intent of recieving answers for his appearance here. And yet, it sounds as if you come from the same place he arrived from."

"Indeed," Leon replied "Kai and I, along with a few accomplices who I've gotten seperated from, come from a world different from yours. I came here with the intention of finding him and a 'White Room' where another comrade, Tatsunagi Takuto, is being held hostage." Anne couldn't help but glance at the Aqua Force user, wondering how he already came to know about the White Room, despite not being a part of the Selector Battles. At least, not yet. This has also raised Fumio's interest in Leon, now wanting to confirm her now arising suspicions about him.

"Then if you come from the same world as Kai Toshiki," she spoke "I assume you are already familiar with the game he told he that he played there. Vanguard, if I recall." Leon nodded in response to her statement.

"In that case then," she continued "I suggest you take a look at your deck, before we get down to business."

The cardfighter then brought out his deck from his pocket and took it out of the case. His eyes suddenly widened as he saw the changed backings of his cards. The white and black backings with the Wixoss logo present along with the original "prophecy" text had replaced the original backings of his units in their Vanguard states, confirming both Fumio and Anne's suspicions. Leon turned his deck over and fanned out the cards, shocked to see that a select few of his units had become his LRIG cards whilst the rest had now transformed into the SIGNI in his main deck. The change had also allocated Leon's deck with several ARTS and additional SIGNI from the Wixoss card game along with a mere few Spells being present among the deck.

"This is..." he spoke.

"It seems you've noticed now," Anne replied, catching his attention. "Much like Kai's own cards as he mentioned before, yours have also changed to suit you for Wixoss battles."

"Wixoss...?" he pondered.

"That is correct," replied Fumio "But yours seem to give off a similar feeling to the ones that Kai used. In that case, it is time you knew of the Selector Battles, that your friend has now become involved with."

Sthen brought down Anne's card from her desk towards Leon as both the Selector and LRIG began giving a long explanation as to the basics of the Selector Battles. The two of them gave him a brief rundown on how the battles normally worked with the mention of the Eternal Girl prospect and the alive LRIGs so the Selectors could be told apart from any other Wixoss players whilst also giving him a brief run through on the rules of how the Wixoss card game worked so he would be quickly acquainted to the changes in his deck. Leon although now understanding of what Kai had basically gotten himself into, still felt that he was being left in the dark in some areas and thought that the only way he would find out was to enter several of these battles himself and see what they really held in store. Needless to say, that opportunity came sooner than he thought as he saw Fumio hold the back of Anne's card towards him.

"So you intended to battle me from the start," he spoke.

"That is correct," Fumio answered "If you are from the same world as Kai, then I would like to see that potential for myself."

"Very well then," Leon replied as he took out one of the LRIG cards from his deck and held it out towards Fumio. The air remained still for several moments as both glanced at each other, awaiting for the opportunity to the start the battle. Then...

(End Music)

"Open!" both called out loud. As if on cue, streams of green and blue colours erupted from their LRIG cards, enveloping them both and bringing them to the field where destiny awaited for them.


Selector Battlefield

(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Battlefield)

When Leon had finally regained consciousness, he opened his eyes to find himself seated at the table representing his side of the field. Half of the background around the area was coloured blue, representing that of the Aqua Force clan that he was using. He suddenly noticed Officer Cadet, Erikk standing on the LRIG space along with the seven cards that were face down on his table, representing his Life Cloths. The Aqua Force user then glanced across towards the other end of the battlefield seeing Fumio was all set up to begin with Anne standing ready on the LRIG space of her Selector's table. A creaking noise briefly broke the silence as Leon suddenly glanced up above him to notice that the roulette had already begun spinning. Eventually after several moments had passed, the roulette had stopped on a green slot.

"It seems that fate has fallen in our favour," said Anne "With the roulette pointed on my colour, Fumio can decide which of us goes first."

"Very well then," Leon replied.

"I will go first," Fumio spoke before drawing her single card. "Grow, Anne=First, Creation of the Imagination!" As a series of flashes rose up around the LRIG, not a lot had changed from her appearance. She now wielded a fan for a more defensive weapon and part of her dress around the upper front up to the top of her chest looked like it had been covered in armour with a pinkish line going around near the very bottom. Anne glanced over towards Erikk, curious to see how Leon was planning to play out the battle.

"You certainly appear interesting," she spoke "I assume that you're from this Cray that I've heard of?"

"Indeed," the Officer Cadet replied "I've heard many things that the United Sanctuary reported to us about the recent anomalies within the Dragon Empire. I wasn't aware of this kind of battle existing in this world." Leon looked down upon Erikk, not expecting the actual unit to have now appeared before him.

"How is it that I've summoned you from Cray for battle?" he asked.

"That I do not know," answered Erikk "But from what I gather, only the units such as myself that you possess as LRIG cards seem to be summoned directly from Cray to this dimension. As for the other units in your deck, I'm not so sure. From what has been gathered, the entire planet has been on high alert for occasions such as this happening."

"I see," murmured Leon.

(End Music)

"However," he continued "What troubles us most is the seeming lack of presence from remanents of the Link Joker forces that their commanders had left stranded on Cray." The Aqua Force user nodded in agreement, also troubled by this turn of events. Fumio meanwhile glanced over towards both the Aqua Force unit and cardfighter, intrigued by their discussion of now. The mere possibility of the Planet Cray now brought into the mix of things, making the scenario for the Selector Battles as of now begin to take a turn for the unpredictable. A subject that raised her interest and in a sense, bringing her a bit of relief, unbeknowst to Leon and Anne.

"It's your turn now, Soryu," she spoke.

"Indeed," he replied as he drew his cards before looking towards the LRIG deck. "Grow! Tear Knight, Theo!"

(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Contention)

In a flash of light, Erikk vanished from the LRIG space as a taller Aquaroid entered the battlefield in his place. He held a long rifle in his right hand, pointing downwards for the time being.

"I summon Tear Knight, Cyprus and Jet-ski Rider!"

To the left of Theo, a smaller Aquaroid appeared onto the battlefield. He had purple hair, watery seethrough wings and a weapon bearing high resemblance to that of a crossbow. To Cyprus' right on the SIGNI space directly next to him, another Aquaroid emerged on a jet ski with several cannons armed onto its sides. Leon then turned his attention towards Anne.

"I'll start by attacking with Cyprus and Jet-ski Rider!" he declared.

As Cyprus took flight into the air, Jet-ski Rider revved the engine on his vehicle and accelerated forward as a veil of water suddenly appeared, allowing both rider and jet-ski to traverse the battlefield without any difficulty. Anne braced herself as Theo aimed his crossbow at her whilst Jet-ski Rider aimed the cannons at her. Both fired their weapons at the LRIG as Jet-ski Rider swerved to make a return trip back to Leon's side of the field as the attacks connected, resulting in a explosion that covered a relative portion of Fumio's table. Her first two crushed Life Cloths revealed both Maki-e, Approximation of Tradition and Servant D, the second card glowing as it entered her Ener Zone.

"Got a Life Burst," she spoke "I Ener Charge."

"Theo attacks!" Leon called. The Tear Knight took aim with his rifle at Anne before firing a shot right at her. Fumio however was already prepared.

"Guard!" she called. Servant O2 appeared in front of Anne to take the brunt of the attack. Once it had subsided, the Guard SIGNI vanished as Fumio placed the card in her Trash Pile.

"Turn end," Leon spoke.

End of Turn 2

Leon vs Fumio

Hand - 5 : 5

Life Cloths - 7 : 5

Current LRIGs - Tear Knight, Theo : Anne=First, Creation of the Imagination

SIGNI : Tear Knight, Cyprus - Jet-ski Rider - EMPTY : EMPTY - EMPTY - EMPTY

Ener - 0 : 3

"Aqua Force..." Anne muttered "So this is what the inhabitants of Cray are capable of." She then looked back at Fumio, who didn't seem concerned with the fact that Leon had already managed to gain an early lead over them. The Aqua Force user glanced over towards the Selector, with something that was already brewing in his mind. A slight breeze blew across the battlefield, much to the confusion of Anne.

Something is off Leon thought Everything appears normal so far, but the wind tells me otherwise. Just what could it be though?

"Draw," Fumio spoke before she moved Maki-e's card from her Ener Zone to her Trash. "Grow. Anne=Second, Value of Excess Knowledge!"

As another series of flashes rose up around the LRIG, not much about Anne changed aside from gaining an additional pink stripe around and near the bottom of her dress. In addition, the fan that she wielded gained an extra orb opposite to the one that was present earlier.

"Summon!" Three SIGNI known as Ameco, Generous Light and Dark, Puri, Innocuous Match and Surrelis, Unresolved Deviation appeared all around Anne, prepared for battle. Surrelis suddenly glowed intensely as a bright green aura surrounded both Puri and Ameco, increasing their strength.

Surrelis, Unresolved Deviation: 5000 - 7000

Puri, Innocuous Match: 2000 - 4000

Ameco, Generous Light and Dark: 7000 - 9000

"With this," Fumio explained "Since I have 3 Beautiful Technique SIGNI on my field, Surrelis' ability increases the power of all my SIGNI by 2000."

Leon said nothing as he looked on at Fumio's field. Her SIGNI were already powered up to high amounts already and he was still at Level 1 for the time being, putting him at a bit of disadvantage. With that said, the Selector then turned her attention the SIGNI.

"Attack!" she declared. With a whip and flurry of her paintbrush, Puri was able to conjour up a spear from some black paint before hurling it right at Jet-ski Rider, engulfing the unit in an explosion that also sent several blobs of paint around Leon's table, some of which landed on Cyprus. Before the Tear Knight could react, several spikes rained upon him from Surrelis' attacks as the defeated unit then vanished from the field, his card reappearing in Leon's Ener Zone. Ameco charged towards Theo, her single gun blazing as the Tear Knight deflected each and every bullet with his rifle. However, this moment of distraction allowed the SIGNI to get in close and strike him directly. As Ameco leaped back to Fumio's table, Leon's first Life Cloth revealed Storm Rider, Diamantes.

"Anne!" Fumio called. The LRIG nodded to her command and began leaping across the battlefield towards Tear Knight, Theo. Leon looked at the cards in his hand, but chose not to act for the moment, believing that the extra damage would help out later. Theo shot out several energy bursts from his rifle towards Anne, but the LRIG kept leaping side to side and occasionally blocked some rounds with her fan before leaping into the air and bringing down a large kick onto the Tear Knight, knocking him backwards. Leon's second Life Cloth revealed Emerald Shield, Paschal, a Life Burst finally coming into his favor.

"With the effect," he spoke "I Ener Charge." The top card of his deck, Battle Siren, Malika moved to his Ener Zone bringing his total to 5. Anne said nothing as she leaped back to the LRIG space on Fumio's table as she glanced towards Leon.

"Turn end," she spoke.

"Up and draw." As Leon began his turn, he moved Malika's card from his Ener Zone to his Trash before turning his attention to the LRIG deck.

(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Charge!)

"Grow! Tear Knight, Lazarus!" As Theo vanished from the battlefield, another Tear Knight entered the LRIG space to take his place. Lazarus wielded a strange curved sword and unusually had what appeared to be the wings of water dragons, considering his birthright in the Aqua Force clan. Into the three empty SIGNI spaces entered another copy of Cyprus, Tidal Assault and Blue Storm Soldier, Tempest Assault. The three units were armed and ready to strike on Leon's command. Before he did so, he glanced towards the LRIG space.

"Using Erikk's ability," he spoke "I pay 1 Blue and move him to my LRIG Trash. After that, I check the top 5 cards of my deck and add a Blue Level 3 SIGNI among them to my hand."

As Erikk's card glowed and moved to the LRIG Trash along with Jet-ski Rider's card being transferred to the Trash Pile, the top 5 cards of Leon's deck revealed themselves to be Tidal Assault, RAINY, Ouika, Water Phantom, Ice Floe Angel and the card he wanted. He picked out Storm Rider, Diamantes and revealed it to Fumio and Anne as the rest of the cards rearranged themselves within his main deck. The Aqua Force user then turned his attention to his SIGNI.

"Tempest Assault attacks Surrelis!" he declared. The unit nodded and charged towards the SIGNI, easily overpowering her with two strikes from his blades.

"Tidal Assault!" Tidal Assault jetted into the air with water gushing out from the back of his armour, giving him the propulsion needed to jet across the battlefield and take out Puri. After the SIGNI vanished, Tidal Assault leaped into the air again much to the surprise of Anne.

"With Tidal's ability," Leon explained as he moved Paschal's card from his Ener Zone to his Trash "I decrease his power by 4000 until the end of your next turn and have him attack again!" Anne braced herself as Tidal Assault dived at her and knocked her to the ground with a slash of his blades. He then leaped back towards Leon's field as Fumio's next Life Cloth revealed March, Mysterious Fairytale. The card glowed, indicating another Life Burst.

"With this Life Burst," Fumio spoke "I Ener Charge twice." The top two cards of the Selector's deck which were Servant O2 and Encompassing Knowledge moved to her Ener Zone. Cyprus could only groan that his strength was not enough to bring down Ameco, but glanced towards Lazarus who nodded in agreement with what he was thinking.

"Lazarus attacks!" Leon called. As Lazarus charged towards Anne, Fumio reached out for another card in her hand.

"Servant D!" she responded as the Guard SIGNI appeared to take the hit for Anne. The Tear Knight growled in annoyance before leaping back to the LRIG space where Leon kept a close gaze upon the Selector.

"Turn end."

After Fumio had drawn her cards, she glanced across the battlefield towards Leon.

"I see," she spoke "I can sense you've carried a heavy burden with this clan that you wield, much like Kai with Kagero."

"As do you with Anne," replied Leon "But there is still something I feel that you're hiding. What more is there to these Selector Battles?"

"If you really are that desperate to know," Fumio sighed "Very well then." She then cleared her throat as Anne glanced up to her for a moment before allowing her Selector to begin her explanation.

"As I have already told you," she began "Selectors, the girls who hold the LRIGs that are alive within the cards they possess, battle it out with one another in order to become an Eternal Girl, the form that is most ideal to achieving their wish. As it has been gathered, things appear simple, win enough times, then an oath must be recited in order to recieve that ideal form. Lose three times and your Selector rights will vanish. However, as you already gathered, all is not as it seems firsthand to you. Am I right?"

Leon nodded, understanding Fumio's explanation so far.

"Good," she replied "In hindsight, everything appears simple and dandy to those who are naive and never expect the unexpected. However, as I have known beforehand, not everything is welcoming. Losing 3 times will not only make you lose your Selector rights, but in turn will also end up corrupting that very same wish, turning it into an almost unbearable curse." This was when Anne decided to speak out for the Selector.

"Tell us Leon," she spoke "Do you have any desire of your own?"

"Only that I may rebuild the foundation of the Soryu clan," he replied "The wind has been considered a blessing amongst our people, but other forces had caused them to scatter into exile around my home world."

"I see," the LRIG murmured "Think what would happen if you had laid that desire on the line in these battles and had that same wish tainted." Running that process through his head, Leon could only widen his eyes in shock, realizing what this could have meant.

(Selector Infected Wixoss OST: Battle ~ Why Not Eliminate the World)

"It seems you realized it now," Fumio spoke "If you were willing to put that desire on the line and come out in failure, then you would never be able to reunite your people and restore them to their former glory. You would be powerless to do anything, but watch as your hope fades away."

"Aqua Force equals absolute justice!" Leon replied "Neither I or they will give into something so ludicrous!"

"Is that so?" she replied "Then allow me to teach you, that even the smallest bit of hope cannot change reality." She moved both Servant D and Puri's card from her Ener Zone to her Trash before glancing at her LRIG deck.

"Grow. Anne=Third, Public Repentance!"

A spiral of green energy rose up around Anne, changing some of the designs present on her dress. The two pink stripes at the bottom of her dress were replaced with two green lines cascading down to the left in a diagonal pattern with a green circle present above them at the top left for each fold. The LRIG's fan was replaced with a staff that had a large white flower along with several smaller flowers and a vine present at the tip. Her shoes had also been replaced with light pink high heels, each with three leaves present on them. The top two cards of Fumio's deck suddenly glowed as they flipped face up. The Selector picked out Colla, Opposing Methodology from among the two and revealed it to Leon before concealing it among the other cards in her hand as the other card from earlier moved to the bottom of her deck. Fumio then summoned that same SIGNI in front of Anne before another copy of Surrelis and Origami, Uniform Requirements appeared to the left and right of the LRIG. Leon then quickly glanced to his LRIG deck.

"ARTS, Don't Escape!" he called "With this, I down Colla!" Fumio said nothing as Colla's card suddenly downed itself, preventing the SIGNI from attacking this turn and leaving Tidal Assault unscathed, for now at least.

"Attack!" she called.

The two remaining SIGNI, Surrelis and Origami nodded to her command and charged across the battlefield to Leon's table quickly overpowering all of the Aqua Force user's SIGNI that were adjacent to them.

"Next!"

Anne nodded and held out her left arm, charging up a sphere of green energy that grew larger and larger and larger. Eventually, she pushed out her arm forward as the sphere then erupted into a beam of energy that hit Lazarus dead on. Leon's next Life Cloth revealed Jet-ski Rider, another Life Burst having gone off in his favour. A blue aura surrounded Tidal Assault, increasing his power and giving him the Lancer effect. Fumio said nothing, indicating the end of her turn.

End of Turn 5

Leon vs Fumio

Hand - 5 : 3

Life Cloths - 4 : 4

Current LRIGs - Tear Knight, Lazarus : Anne=Third, Public Repentance

"Up and draw." As Leon drew his cards and placed Ice Floe Angel into his Ener Zone, he glanced over towards both Fumio and Anne.

"It appears that everything now seems clear about these Selector Battles," he spoke "But, I have no interest in putting my own desire on the line."

"How interesting," murmured Fumio "So you accepted my challenge, with no intention of putting any wish at risk. That was almost once like..." She then suddenly paused, wondering if she had already said too much.

"Like who?" asked Leon.

"... Someone I once knew," the Selector answered "She aspired to become a novelist, much like I am. She never battled, aiming to keep a mutual friendship between herself and her LRIG. However, fate had different plans for her." Anne could only glance up, wondering about what her Selector was telling to the Aqua Force user and curious if it was wise to mention this particular story to him.

"So what happened?" he asked.

"I'm afraid... I don't have the answer to that," Fumio replied "Some say that she had her wish tainted. Others speak of as if she mysteriously vanished."

"I see," Leon spoke "But even so, my resolve won't waver." He moved two cards from his Ener Zone to his trash before a sudden gale of wind raged across the battlefield.

"Wielder of the demiurge, arise from the blue sea! Grow!"

As Lazarus vanished from the battlefield, a torrent of water suddenly erupted into the air as the shadow of a figure emerged onto the LRIG space amongst the water that was jetting up from the LRIG space.

"Blue Flight Dragon, Trans-core Dragon!"

The column of water then fell apart as a large golden anchor slashed through the torrent, revealing the Tear Dragon known as Trans-core. The anchor that he wielded was attached to a large chain which allowed him to hurl the heavy weapon at longer distances. Trans-core's hide was a sea bluish colour with several shades of green present around the scales and wings. As the gale from earlier continued to howl throughout the battlefield, Fumio kept her eye that was concealed from her strand of hair covered by her free hand, glaring directly at Leon. Upon noticing this, Leon's calm demeanour had returned, causing the storm from earlier to die down, allowing the Selector to quickly cover her eye with that same strand of hair.

"So you've finally gotten serious," she muttered "Very well then. Show me what exactly your clan, a part of the Planet Cray, is capable of!"

Leon nodded, having no intention on holding back from this point onwards for the remainder of the battle as both Anne and Trans-core Dragon began staring off at one another.

(End Music)


And there we go! As the battle goes back and forth between both Fumio and Leon, the Aqua Force user becomes serious with the intention on going all out. But what else do Fumio and Anne have up their sleeve at this point in time? All the answers to this battle will be revealed next chapter. Don't forget to follow, favourite and/or leave a review and I hope you've enjoyed reading this chapter. Until next time!

*Foreshadowing alert! Just what could Fumio be possibly hiding from Anne?
