Hello everyone and welcome back to the second part of Arc 3's introductory segment. I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Flashback; Kuro's POV/Narration

(Selector Spread Wixoss OST: Mayu and White Room)

"Mayu was once alone... without knowing what alone actually meant..."

Deep within what appeared to be a rather large bedroom, a girl lay down under the covers with a mostly blank expression to both her eyes and face. Tall red fabric draped down from the very top of the bedroom all the way down to either side of the bed near the end where the pillows were laid out. With the exception of her hair colour, which appeared to be dark brown along with the lack of her earrings, this girl from her eyes alone was more than enough for almost anyone to potentially recognize as the real Mayu, before she had become the enigmatic and short-tempered mastermind behind the Selector Battles and recieved her power from the Void to do so.

"Every so often, something did and something came to her. But, she didn't know anything. Who she was or why she was here... That lonely room was entire world, her entire everything."

Despite her seemingly blank outward appearance, the girl's expression still showed hints of confusion and wonder. Wonder for the world that lay just beyond the door to her bedroom and the large skylight at the very top of the roof. Turning to her right, she slowly but rather weakly reached out for a book that was on one of the two small desks to either side of her bed. That same desk the book in question laid on also had what appeared to be a small stuffed rabbit toy, an additional book beneath the one that she was picking up and a small ball with some string attached to it. On the other bedside desk lay a small themometer with a glass container that held some clear purplish liquid substance along with two white bags, one of which had the word medicine in plain english written on it.

"It was then that she eventually noticed that things were being placed around her."

Unlike the book which was simply titled 'Friends', Mayu had seemingly took no notice from the objects on the other desk as she opened up the book that had what appeared to be the image of a middle school girl as evidenced by her uniform along with a single word as the title. Friends.

"Periodically, someone would come by her room, only to just deliver more things to her. Perhaps it was merely out of pity towards Mayu herself."

A woman that was dressed in the clothing of what appeared to be that of a house maid, briefly stopped by the doorway to Mayu's bedroom before leaving down a box that contained more toys and other objects inside of it and leaving the room immediately afterwards. Mayu herself the for the moment however, took no notice of this at all. Her expression had changed to complete wonder as two of the pages within the book that she was reading showed an illustration of a large, but rather peaceful countryside town.

"What... is... this...?" she asked to herself, before slowly turning to the next two pages of the book and looking up to the skylight above her bedroom.

"She then found out. Beyond that window, there's a world outside that she's not aware of. That there were many girls outside that look like her. At least, to a degree."

Within the two pages of the book that Mayu had opened up, she looked back to see on the page to the left, there were several girls, all in white dresses but with different hairstyles to differentiate all of them from one another, further evidenced by the fact that some of them wore different kinds of hats. One of the girls from having her hair tied up in small pigtails on either side of her head, seemed familiar to the point where her appearance was almost completely identical to that of a certain LRIG in the present day. On the page to the right, the kanji there simply read out "... a lot of friends...".

"Frie... nd..." she read out "Their wish... came true... and everyone... lived happily ever after..."

She murmured the closing narration of the book, once again in a slow tone as on one of the next pages, she could see an illustration of those same girls with linked arms going in a circle around a certain patch of grass in the meadow they were depicted in.

"Wish..."

"Then one day..."

On one fateful day indeed, amongst the objects that were present within her bedroom, Mayu could see on her desk what was the box that contained a deck belonging to the Wixoss card game. The deck that was title White Hope, to be more exact.

"She understood that it was some sort of plaything and that it could not be played by herself."

The girl had already finished opening up the box that contained both the cards that made up the full deck and began to lay them out, trying to make sense of why she couldn't play the game by herself, compared to the other toys that she had recieved from the household maid, without even noticing the woman to begin with.

"She then... imaged it. And..."

One night, Mayu sat up on her bed with the two playmats that had been included with the deck that she had recieved placed in front of her to their sides, so it would appear that it was set up for two players to interact with one another whilst the girl herself would observe. Then, imaging it within her mind, two glows emerged from the blank cards that were placed on the LRIG zones of both mats. One took on the form of Tama, when back in the earliest stages of the Selector Battles and at this point in time, she was named Shiro, after the colour white itself. The one glow took on what appeared to be the LRIG form of Ulith, when Kuro was a Selector to the cruel demanored girl only some time ago. However, the LRIG itself was far from being Ulith herself. This was in fact, the original true appearance of the girl of black herself, now seemingly brought to life for the first time. Mayu simply smiled, pleased with what she had seemingly accomplished at this very moment.

"... created friends."


"Whoa, hold it there!" Naoki's voice called out in interruption.

"What is it, Ishida?" Kuro asked, almost huffing under her breath.

"So let me see if I've got this right... You and Tama... were Mayu's imaginary friends..." the Narukami user said, attempting to make light of what he had just heard.

"You are correct," the girl of black replied "Those imaginary friends at that time, were only images that she had manifested within her mind and were ones that only she could see. Now then, if I may continue?"

"Yes," said Ruko as Kuro immediately resumed the story from where she had stopped.


"You are the Girl of White, the good girl, Shiro," Mayu spoke, giving the respective original names to the two imaginary girls who would later become Ruko's current LRIGs "And you are the Girl of Black, the bad girl, Kuro. We're friends from tonight."

"Yeah, nice to meet you," said Shiro, not speaking in the third person as she would later do so as an actual LRIG.

"Sure, I'll be your friend," replied Kuro, in a much softer tone compared to the 'person' she was now.

And indeed, the 'three' friends were as Mayu eventually laid back on her bed and went to sleep with a smile on her face, not even noticing the moonlight's glow from the skylight covering over her at this very moment and the fact that Shiro and Kuro had vanished, now that the girl who had imagined them was currently asleep. Unbeknowst to the young girl or any of her imaginary friends, from a shadow of the bed that was cast by the moonlight at this very moment, a pair of 'eyes' seemingly materialized, if only for a brief moment before disappearing into the darkness once more, as if almost on a whim. On the very next day...

"Shiro's going to summon Tlet. Attack."

"That won't work, Shiro."

A Wixoss game was appearing to be well into effect as evidenced from the familiar name of the White SIGNI that was attacking at this very moment. Shiro had attempted to attack with Tlet, Gauntlet with Mayu telling her that the Girl of White's attack would seemingly have no effect. As this was going on, the maid that normally delivered objects to Mayu whenever she passed by was simply staring at what she was seeing. Mayu was seemingly playing the game to herself, whilst not being able to hear the voices of Shiro and Kuro within her imagination out aloud. The maid, who did nothing more, simply left the room with the girl inside her bedroom once again paying no mind as to what had just happened as she continued the 'game' as it was.

"I'll stop that with Vimana," Kuro spoke.

"Aah... no..." Shiro's voice echoed, seemingly with no emotion to it. Mayu simply giggled warmly.

"Now it's Kuro turn next..." she spoke.

"Here I go... attack."

"Yikes. She got me..."

"That was when... she started a certain game..."

"Outside world...?" asked Shiro.

The girl of white asked that question on that night of the same day, where Mayu had finally begun to put together the pieces of what she desired as her ideal image for the Selector Battles, prior to its implementation with the aid of the Star-vaders. The young girl turned her head across the bed to the pillow of where the imaginary Shiro lay down and smiled.

"Yes," she answered "Shiro and Kuro are going to bring girls from the outside world here. You tell them that if they win the game, their wish comes true.

"Then what?" asked Kuro.

"Shiro and Kuro are going to play Wixoss and whoever wins will be granted the wish of the girl they brought."

"Then... what will happen to that girl?" Shiro pondered.

"She will be sealed away in the world of cards," Mayu replied "For her to escape from there, she'll have to bring another girl."

"What about the girl that loses?" Kuro asked once more.

"Her wish won't come true," the enigmatic girl answered before pausing for a brief moment. "No, that's not all. Her wish will be reversed."

The large dark bedroom remained silent for a moment as each of the first two LRIGs in existence took the time to go deep into their own personal thoughts on the subject matter. Even though they were nothing more than mere figments of Mayu's imagination at this point in time, the fact that they had sentience of their own to a small extent was enough for them to ponder on the subject for a while. Eventually, Shiro was the first to speak out her thoughts on the matter.

"But... isn't that mean?" she asked.

"Why?" Mayu replied "The girls can choose whether or not they wish to participate. They don't have to play if they don't wish to."

"Hmm. Sounds like fun," Kuro said, almost musingly in response.

"Right? Let's do this."

"Yup. Shiro will do it too."

City Park: Present Day

"No way..." Ruko breathed.

"Then this means... Mayu's image of the Selector Battles was never influenced by the Void or Link Joker in the first place," Aichi murmured.

"They simply aided her in the construction of bringing them to life, by her own will," Kai concluded, grimacing on the last portion of his sentence. Just as I had recieved power to overcome Aichi and Ren back then, under similar circumstances. Could Mayu have even been aware of what she was thinking back then? Even so... what is her reason for wanting to destroy the outside world as she declared in our last battle?

Kuro simply kept her eyes closed as she continued the story from there.


Flashback; Kuro's POV/Narration

(Cardfight! Vanguard Unreleased Soundtrack: Crawling Chaos)

"And so... after imaging how the battles would play out the way, her world eventually began to bear bright colours."

As the days passed on, Mayu continued to use her imagination to manipulate the way the Selector Battles would work under her baleful glare. Using said imagination, she rigged up a 'test' battle with Shiro and Kuro by imagining two Selectors, each with a different wish of their own. One who wielded Shiro who wished to become a florist, as evidenced by the single flower tied within her hair whilst the Selector who wielded Kuro wished to become a princess. The battle went back and forth for many minutes, until eventually, Kuro's Selector was the one to emerge victorious from the bout. In the result, as the system had not been completely finalized as it was in the present day, in an instant, the losing Selector had her wish to becoming a florist tainted as the flower in her hair withered away along with her sense of sight and smell in relation to any plants nearby her. The victorious Selector however, ended up being trapped inside the card that Kuro was a part of and the girl of black inhabitated her body.

"Within this imaginary world, the girls' laughter, their cries, their screams and their agony continued to resonated again and again."

Continuing to image more scenarios before her, Mayu eventually learned of the other colours that were presently available in Wixoss at the time, barring Yellow as that colour for the moment had only appeared when Naoki would eventually appear in this world with his Narukami units. At the same time though, as more of these 'tests' continued to go on, to the view of Shiro who had been distracted in one of her battles for a brief moment, she could have sworn that she had seen Mayu's physical state growing weaker with every passing day.

"But... the more her imaginary world grew in size... the more she learned about the cruel meaning of reality... and where she really was. A world of truth where there are no colours or voices."

One day, Mayu weakly lay back on her bed, her physical state seeming much worse for wear than the last time Shiro had distracted herself from one of the girl's imaginary battles. The girls of black and white looked down upon her seemingly sickly state, concern plastered all over their expressions. The young girl could barely keep her eyes open and her voice was beginning to weaken.

"Say... Shiro, Kuro..." she spoke "Isn't it strange? You're all my friends, but I'm the only one here. Not only can't I wish... I can't even see what a florist looks like."

"Say Mayu... What is Mayu's wish?" asked Shiro, finally speaking in third person for the first time.

"Shiro and Kuro... will fulfill Mayu's wish," Kuro replied.

"Really...?" Mayu coughed "You're both so kind... My... wish..."

She reached out towards the skylight of the bedroom that was far above her, showing the bright blue sky in the distance above, respresenting what little she would actually see out of the outside world. Then, before she knew it, Shiro and Kuro faded from view as her vision began to blur and her breathing began to become ragged. Before Mayu had lost complete consciousness, her remaining vision though blurred, was enough to depict a dark purple cloud manifesting in front of her before she blacked out.

...

Kuro and Shiro eventually woke up in the location that was revealed to be the White Room, as evidenced by the many gates and windows that had surrounded them at this very moment. Looking at one another, they suddenly realized that they had actual consciousness flowing through them and that they actually had physical being without the need for Mayu's own imagination. But the question that remained was how was that possible? Little did the two LRIGs know was that the answer they were about to recieve was the answer that they would be looking for. Mayu, as she now appeared in the present day, appeared behind the two of them.

"It's been too long."

The girls of black and white turned around to face the mastermind of the Selector Battles whose enigmatic smile had not left her lips since she arrived in the area. Looking forwards, both Kuro and Shiro could see that the three of them were not alone in this 'White Room' A large figure, bigger than even the three of them combined, towered over the trio, its white armor and black rings along with the scythe it carried had made the figure all too familiar to recognize.

"Mayu... what is it that?" asked Shiro.

"'That'... is one of many who have finally brought my wish into reality," Mayu spoke "The Clown from another reality... or rather... Chaos Breaker Dragon!"

"Chaos... Breaker..." breathed Kuro.

"Most magnificent," 'the Clown' spoke "Unlike the two 'rejects', my newest creations, the two of you brought to life directly from Mayu's imagination, have proven to be most... successful."

"It was because of Chaos Breaker, that the two of us had finally gained physical being and proper sentience. Sendou Aichi, I'm already certain you know as to who the two rejects were that he was talking about. He revealed to us that he had also created at least 48 other original LRIGs, all of which were still in testing whilst the two of us were his first, successful creations. Once his work was finished and Photon's forces had assumed command for him in his temporary leave, the true Selector Battles could finally begin."

(End Music)


City Park: Present Day

Back in the park, everyone was practically speechless with shock. None moreso than Ruko herself, having been curious as to how both Tama and Kuro had come to be involved with the Selector Battles in the first place. Originally, when she had learned of the Selector System from Yuzuki after she had become an LRIG and on the seperate occasions after that when she had both Tama and Kuro seperately, she had wondered as to what kind of girls the two of them could have existed as before becoming Selectors. That is, if they were actually ones in the first place to begin with prior to this revelation that the girl of black had given to the whole group.

With this new information now in hand that Kuro and Tama were originally figments of Mayu's imagination, brought into physical being by one of the Star-vaders' most powerful and cunning commanders, no one knew what to say next in regards to that. The girl of white, who had been brought about with amnesia as a result of a previous clash against Kuro, when she had gone berserk as a result of a certain hideous transformation beyond her control, couldn't believe that she had just went about in agreement with all of this, even before the Selector Battles had been properly developed to the point where they now physically existed. Unbeknowst to the entire group, Ayumu who had followed them to the park earlier, had been listening in on every single word of their conversation at this very moment.

"No way..." breathed Hitoe.

"You tell me..." murmured Yuzuki.

"Well... this certainly complicates things," said Ren.

"The ability to transcend her image into reality... Just how much more about Mayu do we not know?" Leon pondered.

"Transcend...?" Naoki murmured in confusion, trying to get the meaning of what the Aqua Force user was implying.

"If Mayu can manifest her imagination through the means of the limitations of what the Star-vaders can create for her," he spoke "There may be no stopping her the way that we are now."

Whilst neither Aichi nor Umr had any words to try and describe anything they had just heard from Kuro at this very moment, Kai could only stare at the ground with many thoughts racing through his head. The one that was predominant though was the fact that everything around them happening in the battles only they had proper knowledge of and could properly participate in, was all the result of one enigmatic girl and a unit that he once wielded alongside a certain clan for the sake of power, without any care in his world of whatever happened around him. Aichi noticed this and turned to him.

"Kai-kun..." he said "I know you once wielded Chaos Breaker as your own... but that was a long time ago now. You don't have to feel responsible for this."

"Perhaps," the Kagero user replied "But... this doesn't change the fact that this entire world has been in more danger than we could have imagined for quite some time, even before my arrival here."

"Reject..." Umr murmured under her breath, bringing Aichi's attention down to her. "... Just what was wrong with me... for 'him' and Mayu to call me that?"

"Umr... I think you're fine the way you are," Aichi spoke, trying to reassure her "Even if you are called a 'reject' by Mayu and Chaos Breaker, you still did so much to help me. I wouldn't have overcome Ulith or saved Tama from her if we never met one another that night. To me... you're another friend."

"Friend..." she spoke before attempting to smile warmly, just as she did at the end of 'that' previous battle "It sounds... nice..."

Aichi smiled warmly in response, seeing that his effort to try and lift Umr's spirits after hearing that she had been originally a 'reject' as he had so discovered prior to and during the story that Kuro had just explained to the group, in regards to how the Selector Battles had been created. Getting up from the park bench, Ruko walked up to the Royal Paladin user alongside Hitoe to see the LRIG up close for themselves, whilst also holding out their own respective cards, each containing Tama, Kuro and Yuzuki respectively.

"So you're the real Umr," said Ruko "It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise..." she replied before she then paused, trying to think of something to say next.

"I wouldn't worry for the moment," said Yuzuki "You'll eventually get the hang of conversations with enough practice, just like Hitoe at some point when Aichi gets the chance to teach her."

"Y... Yeah," her Selector replied as she looked at Aichi, smiling warmly as she did so.

"Tama likes Umr!" Tama called out before noticing the horms on either side of the LRIG's head. "Are... Umr's horns real?"

(Selector Spread Wixoss OST: Chiyoringa, Chiyorunba, Chorizo)

Tapping the horns on either side of her head before attempting to move them, cringing briefly as a result of this, the mysterious LRIG nodded in reply, confirming that the horns were indeed an actual part of her and not an accessory, like Anne's headress for example. The others briefly sweatdropped for a moment, making the scenario somewhat awkward between them. Then, before they could say anything else...

"Hello again!"

The group turned their heads to see Chiyori emerge from the entrance to the park and run up to them in an instant, her excited expression being present alongside her usual overly happy, but mostly cheerful smile as she joined the five cardfighters and two Selectors in the center of the park.

"Chiyori, Eldora!" called Naoki.

"It's certainly been a while," the aforementioned LRIG replied "Chiyori was more than eager to meet up with you again, given the circumstances of what happened last time."

"You no longer need to be concerned if you're talking about my injury and the fact that Tama is now in safe hands," said Kai.

"That reminds me..." Chiyori pondered as she looked to Ruko "We haven't been properly introduced before, haven't we Ruko?"

"Yeah..." Ruko answered, still somewhat caught off guard by the younger Selector's eccentricness. "We met when I was running away and I bumped into you... sorry about back then."

"No biggie!" she replied before shaking her hand up and down in an excited fashion, briefly embarrassing Ruko for a brief moment as evidenced by her expression. Chiyori then turned her attention over towards Kai.

"That reminds me..." she said before holding out Eldora's card towards him "You haven't forgotten our deal, have you?"

Kai simply closed his eyes and nodded, having remembered back to their casaul battle in the shop Card Luck, where he had somewhat reluctantly agreed to later comply to her terms of a rematch as a Selector Battle, if only so she could experience battling his Kagero units for real, up close and personal. Aichi and Ruko briefly turned to the Kagero user, having not been told about any of this beforehand.

"Kai-kun..." he murmured.

"I haven't forgotten," Kai spoke as he reached into his pocket.

As he did so, a rustle came from a pair of nearby bushes, which caused only Ruko to turn her head in that direction whilst everyone else remained seemingly oblivious to the very noise that she had just heard at this very moment. Kuro and Tama simply stared at the bushes, wondering what was within them to cause their Selector to become concerned for their safety at this very moment. Could it have been Akira stalking the group again, attempting to land another physical attack much like when she did to Kai only two days ago? For the moment, they could only keep their ears and eyes on guard, waiting for whatever was hiding to make their move.

"Yes!" Chiyori's voice called out, bringing Ruko's attention back to the group. "And before you ask 'Have I lost any more times?', I can assure you that the answer is no! I'm really looking forward to it."

"Very well then," Kai replied as he pulled out Dragonic Overlord's card from his pocket "But regardless of what happens to your wish, remember this well. You have brought this upon yourself."

(End Music)

Before either of them could declare the signal "Open!" to open up the battlefield to begin the battle, a sound suddenly burst from out of the bushes as Ruko turned around and gasped.

"Look out!" she called as she quickly shoved Chiyori to the side as a metal object with a red gem embedded in it which was thrown at them, presumably aiming for the smaller Selector of the group, latched straight onto her wrist, almost locking itself into place. The red and black cable that was attached to the 'cuff' that had been locked onto her wrist, suddenly reeled back at little, enough to drag the Selector forwards by a little margin.

"Ruko-san!" called Aichi as he tried to fiddle with the cable.

"Are you alright?!" asked Kai.

"What... is this?!" she groaned as she tried to pull her wrist back.

"Not what I intended... but it will do."

Everyone in the area with the exception of Umr gasped as they looked on in the direction of the bushes to which the trail of the reeled cable led towards. As the source of the voice and the figure that it belonged to emerged from the bushes, the cable reeled backwards until the source of where it had fired from had finally been revealed, along with the person who had launched it at the group in the first place. The device from which he had launched the cable from, was coloured white and mounted onto his left wrist, with a large empty pocket that looked like it should contain something to house that compartment. That compartment however was not the one that the cable had launched from, evidenced by the reel that was built into the top plate above the 'empty' casing.

"O... Onii-chan?!" gasped Ruko.

"So... I've finally tracked down your little secret," he spoke, a hint of disdain present in his voice, his gaze becoming a fierce glare.

"Ayumu-san... just what's going on?" Hitoe asked nervously.

"Eh? Who is this supposed to be?" Chiyori murmured before bringing up Eldora's card and saying in a whisper "You don't think he's another 'Boy Selector' from their world, right?"

"No," Eldora replied "From the sound of things, he's Ruko's older brother."

"Very perceptive, Eldora."

The LRIG gasped, having known that it should not have been possible for Ayumu of all people to be able to hear the voices of the LRIGs, especially since the only boys who should be able to even do so would be the cardfighters from another world that were standing around them.

"Oi Ayumu!" called Naoki, bringing the older brother's attention over to him "What's with the glares from last night that Hatsu told us about?! I get you're concerned about Ruko, but we went out of our way to try and bring her..."

"That is something you should have not done!"

(Cardfight! Vanguard OST: Semarikuru Kiken)

The Narukami user's eyes widened in disbelief, seemingly shocked as to the blunt reply that Ayumu had given him at this very moment. From his reply, it sounded as if he never wanted them to find Ruko and bring her home safely in the first place.

"What are you saying?!" Yuzuki demanded, now knowing from his addressing of Eldora that he could hear her as well.

"Now that I know the truth from all those years ago," he spoke "Ruko should have been left alone to whatever fate she had, to suffer for what she did back then!"

"W... What are you talking about, onii chan?" asked Ruko "If it's about the Selector Battles, we can talk about it now."

"It seems you really have forgotten," Ayumu muttered, causing his sister to gasp in confusion "Not that it matters."

"Ayumu, what it with this cuff?!" Kuro demanded as she looked at the cuff that was locked to Ruko's left arm.

"Thanks to this anchor," he explained "Neither of us can move away from one another until a Selector Battle between us is completed."

Almost everyone else present in the park gasped, each of them pondering in thought as to how Ayumu managed to gain information about the Selector Battles without any of their knowledge. Even Ruko was shocked by this turn of events, wondering if she had already known how her older brother had managed to gain said information from them without theme even realizing it or noticing it at first.

"Then... you were overhearing my conversation with Tama and Kuro earlier this morning..." she murmured "And just now... you were following us."

"Of course, Ru," Ayumu answered, with a hint of venom to his voice "That is what Tama calls you, if I have not misheard."

"But... you need to have an 'alive' LRIG or units from the Planet Cray to enter a Selector Battle," Chiyori pointed out "Just how are you going to open the battlefield?"

"Then I'll show you, in a matter of moments," he bluntly replied as he took out a deck of Wixoss cards, 40 black and 10 white along with one strange card that had a dark grey backing to it and shoved them all into the empty slot of his wrist device, causing it to whir loudly and the red sections of the cable that was attached to Ruko's arm to illuminate brightly, catching everyone's attention.

"Ruko, let Tama fight!" Ruko looked down to the girl of white, as did Kuro towards her. "Tama wants to help Ru's 'onii-chan' understand!"

"I see..." the Selector murmured before looking over to her friends who seemed concerned whilst Chiyori seemed more intrigued than worried. "I understand Tama. Let's do this."

"Ruko-san..." Aichi murmured in worry.

"Be careful," said Kai, to which the Ruko nodded in agreement.

"For the warmth you took away from me all those years ago..." Ayumu muttered in anger before looking up and forward, his eyes now showing nothing but discontent for the Selector and her friends. "Are you ready for your repentance?!"

Ruko simply clenched her teeth as she held out Tama's card towards him and the older brother pulled back on his jumper sleeve to reveal the whole device that was attached to his left wrist as he pressed a button that was embedded at the very back.

(End Music)

"OPEN!" they both declared as the cable between them glowed a blinding bright red, bringing everyone within its radius and the two people latched on either end of it, to the battlefield that awaited all of them.


And there we go! After Kuro delves more into the mystery of the origin of Mayu and the Selector Battles that were created, Chiyori approaches the group with the intention of going through with her Selector Battle with Kai as the two agreed on back in the first arc. Eventually, Ayumu decides to reveal himself and attempts to forcefully conduct a Selector Battle with Chiyori, initially seeing her as 'the weakest link', but Ruko intervenes to take up the challenge in the Selector's place. Can the Selector and Tama overcome what her brother may have in store and discover the reason behind his strange behavior as of late? How has Ayumu entered the Selector Battles with whatever means were given to him by both his and Ruko's mother? Find out next time on Stand Up, the LRIG! as the battle between brother and sister is about to commence. Please leave any feedback or critiques you have and I'll see you all next time!
