A/N: Hi, guys! I think it's time to reveal what you guys want to know that will happen in this chapter.
Naruto will participate in G-quest in Magallanica as a member of Special Aqua Force. Like in canon, Chrono's opponent is Leon, Tokoha's - Jaime, that means Shion will be fighting Naruto.
His deck obviously will be Maelstrom deck and he can use it as skilled as Leon in his days or even more.
Time to start
Chrono was wandering around street searching for Magallanica HQ. He is still a bit downtrodden after the fight with Naruto. But he swear to himself that he will win against the blond until the end of G-quest.
Suddenly he stopped when he saw a blond man with closed eyes standing still for a while now. Chrono decided to approach the man to ask direction of the HQ.
"Ano, can you help me to find Magallanica HQ?"
Leon opened his eyes then glanced at Chrono and said. "I feel a very special wind coming from you"
Chrono blinked the tilt his head in confusion. "Huh?"
Leon ignored his expression for now and walked away, but before he left he said. "The wind will guide you to me once again, boy". And so Leon left to find the spiky blond. Leon knows that Naruto has a bad habit to eat very much . He was sure that the blond is somewhere in any noddles shop.
And indeed Naruto was in one of the shop. When Leon entered he saw that blond is slurping his bowl.
"That bad habit of yours won't ever disappear, eh, Tatsunagi Naruto?"
Naruto turned back and saw that Leon was standing behind him.
"Leon-san! I am a wanderer! All those years ago, I was never in civilization, you know! I am compensating with all these food!"
However suddenly he was snatch to the ear by someone. Naruto widened his eyes when he noticed it was Jilian. She is glaring in displease at him.
"Stop wasting our time, boy! You should feel honored that Leon-sama choose you as teammate!"
"Itetete!" Naruto winced and plead. "Ok, ok let go of my ear please, Jilian-san!"
Leon turned away and walked off. "Let's go!"
Sharleene being a soft heart pitied the poor blond being torment by her twin. Though one thing all three of them know for sure is that Naruto's abilities is as great as any Soryu. That was the reason Leon entrust the blond Maelstrom after all.
Magallanica HQ
When Dreadnought and Naruto arrived at HQ, Jaime was already there to greet them together with branch chief.
"Welcome to Magallanica HQ, team Dreadnought!" The branch chief greet them. He was a fat man wearing glasses with a bowl cut hair. Also he wears a green costume. He turned to Naruto with curious eyes and asked. "And who might you be? I thought I only invite Dreadnought and Jaime Alcaraz"
Leon decided to answer the question instead. "He is Tatsunagi Naruto, a very capable fighter. He is our third teammate for this quest". Leon closed his eyes in amusement before added. "You all night know this boy by another name. Vanguard Master!"
His reply caused the eyes of everyone present except Dreadnought and Naruto himself.
"Really? Vanguard Master? The one the was rumored had mastered all clans? I never thought, that he is this young!" exclaimed branch chief looking at the spiky blond in awe. The blond felt embarrassed at the praise and scratch the back of his neck uncomfortably.
"Woah! I didn't know that my other teammate will be this awesome! I am actually feeling that with my heart!" exclaimed Jaime with a big grin and embraced the blond like they were bodies.
The branch chief grinned wider and exclaimed. "Even better! With Vanguard Master participating, this quest will heat up even more!"
Start of G-quest
All the participants to complete G-quest gathered near stage, awaiting for the start of the quest. Of course, Try3 was there together with Trinity Dragon.
Chrono himself was wandering whether the spiky blond will be in this quest or not. At first he searched for him in the circle of participants, but he wasn't there. His pride of a fighter couldn't help but desiring to have a rematch with the blond.
Suddenly the stage lit up, a smoke screen appeared on the stage and two figures were seen slowly being lift up from bellow. When the smoke cleared, the newly idols of G-quest, Rummy Labyrinth, were revealed. The crowd started to cheer loudly in greeting. There was also lots of the idols fans. You could noticed this, by looking at their appearance. The fans were blue or pink clothes with the image of them both.
"Good evening, guys! We are Rummy Labyrinth!" both of the girls greet the crowd together in their infamous pose. The crowd just cheering even louder in excitement.
"I am the evening butterfly! Chouno Amu!" introduced a blue haired girl with short hair cut in an elegant blue dress, with a knot in butterfly shape on top of her head and waving her hand to the crowd.
"And I am the night moonlight! Yumizuki Luna!" exclaimed a pink hair girl with yellow eyes. Her hair were curved at the end. She was wearing a bright pink dress and a moon hairpin on top of her head.
"We want to announce the start of the G-quest in Magallanica HQ!" said Amu with a big smile.
"Now I will introduce you all to the announcer for this quest!" Luna stated and then point her palm aside. The light lit up to reveal a muscular man wearing the Nightmist costume. "It is the leader of team Handsome, Daimonji Gouki!"
The crowd cheered for the famous fighter appearance.
"Thank you! To say the truth, I didn't have any intention to be an announcer for this G-quest, at first. However the branch chief just begging me to much, I can't help but accept his request" stated Gouki to the speaker.
"Now I will explain what is G-quest for" started Gouki and began to explain. "G-quest will be in all the HQ of the branch. All the fighters must reveal to all the branch to complete G-quest. If you manage to clear a G-quest, you will receive 10 points"
"So what will happen when clear all G-Quest?" Luna asked Gouki curiously.
"If a fighter manage to gain 50 points, he will be come Generation Master!" announce Gouki.
"When you become Generation Master, what happen after that?" asked Luna.
"You have an opportunity to become Clan Leader. Well, a test to become Clan Leader" explained Gouki proudly.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Luna in awe
"Now it's time to announce Magallanica branch Q-quest!" Gouki point his hand to the screen behind him, revealing the table tournament. "It's a team tournament! All the teams will fight each other until only 1 team left. Then they need to pass their last obstacle...". After the announcement, Gouki point his palm at the lighting up place behind him. " They are Special Aqua Force!"
"Special Aqua Force?" repeated Tokoha.
The light reveal three two man and one teenage boy standing behind them. "The Euro Champion of Euro League, Jaime Alcaraz!". Jaime waved at the crowd with a big smile.
"His name was known to all Aqua Force users. The legendary leader of team Dreadnought, Soryuu Leon! Leon comes from the legendary Soryuu family, which is the birthplace of Aqua Force. Also he is Aqua Force Clan Leader!" Leon stood there with closed eyes and a calm expression.
"This person was only a rumor that to this day many thought that he was a mere thought up character created by someone. However at this moment, I will gladly announce that the rumors were not just rumors, but is 100% the truth. I introduce you to the one that you knew as Vanguard Master, one who through the rumor has mastered all the clan! Meet! One and only Vanguard Master, Tatsunagi Naruto!" announced Gouki with sparkle in his eyes, because he himself couldn't believe that Vanguard Master is right there!
The crowd gasped in shock and the silenced lasted a bit too long. However the ones that shocked the most were Luna and Try3. The silence has now disappeared and was replace by the sea of claps and whistles from the crowd.
"Amazing! I never expect to see Vanguard Master here!"
"I thought he was only a rumor!"
"Kyaa~ he is so cute, but handsome at the same time!~"
"Naruto-sama!~" The scream of the females audiences clearly overwhelm the scream of make boy fans of Rummy Labyrinth.
"N-Naruto is Vanguard Master?" Tokoha still has not overcome the shock she feels.
"However that definitely explain his overwhelming strength we have seen" nodded Shion in understanding.
Chrono was silent for a while until his mouth to a full blow grin. "Interesting! How interesting! That just make me want to defeat him even more! And even Jaime is here! Not mention AF Clan Leader!"
Naruto felt uncomfortable and embarrassing at all the praise to him. However he keep his eyes on Try3 and they meet eyes with him. Chrono smirked at the older blond and thrust his fist forward, as if challenging him. Naruto closed his eyes with a light smirk like accepting the red head challenge.
"Your team don't need to win all the fight against SAF! You just have to win twice and that's enough to ensure the completion of this quest!" added Gouki.
"We will start the quest after a little break!" announced Luna.
Scene change
At a nearby cafe
"Yay, amigo! Well, are you shock? Are you surprise? " Jaime asked Chrono with his goofy grin.
"Of course!" replied Chrono looked at Jaime and the glanced at the gluttonous blond that basically devouring a pizza. By the way, that was his fifth pizza.
Tokoha could only looked at the sight in deadpan, while Shion laughed awkwardly.
Sharleene is holding her furious twin back to save the poor blond from her wrath. Jillian couldn't stand people that couldn't behave properly. And our blond have a veryyy bad habit to eat until his stomach is full.
"To think that this person is Vanguard Master..." muttered Chrono shaking his head in disbelief.
"Hahaha! Naruto has a very funny habit! However his fighting abilities are top notch! I am sure you all already know about that" laughed Jaime then looked keenly at Chrono.
Chrono recalled his defeat and sighed. "Yeah, that I can't deny. However this time will be different!".
"We meet again, boy!" Leon decided to make his presence known.
"Yeah" Chrono nodded.
"As you already know, Leon is from the legendary Soryuu family. When AF was one the verge of extinct, he was the one that resurrect it. So too all the AF users, Leon is like our God" explained Jaime looking at Clan Leader admiringly.
"Well, obviously all the AF users are grateful to master Leon. I personally glad that I could fight for that clan!" Naruto speak up for the first time with a foxy grin.
"I am also glad that there are do many AF users now. Before, me, Jillian and Sharleene were the only ones who fight for AF. I am grateful to both Jaime and Naruto for spreading AF to the world" stated Leon in a grateful tone.
Hearing that Naruto will be fighting for AF peeked Try3 interest greatly. He is really Vanguard Master, that could play for any clans.
Leon looked at Try3 with a serous gaze, specifically Chrono, and asked. "What is the end of your path? If you don't aim for the top then I won't even bother to fight you"
Chrono thought at his words and replied. "I don't know what is the end of my path just yet. However we aim to win all G-quests! Maybe after that I can see what is beneath it!"
Leon smirked in satisfaction and muttered. "There is no other way than the winning path, huh? Ok than if you can try to defeat us!". AF Clan Leader challenged Chrono stood up from his place and walked away. The twins followed him behind.
"Yeah! We will definitely defeat you!" exclaimed Chrono loudly.
Naruto also decided its time to go, but before that he turned to Try3 and said. "It doesn't matter who may end up fighting me. But I am looking forward to fighting one of you!"
"We will definitely win, Naruto-san!" declared Shion with resolve.
"I hope so. But you know I don't know the word hold back. So do your best!" With that blond ran away but not before winking at Tokoha, caused the girl to flush a bit at his charm.

Power 23000
"Assasinate Sailor, call"
Assasinate Sailor appeared behind Glory.
Naruto exchanged position of Rascal and Theta then entered battle phase.
"Rascal Sweeper attack Vanguard. Skill, power +2000"
Shion didn't know about the breakride skill, but he knew that Glory's Ultimate Break sealed off the Perfect Guard. So he calculated that if he got a trigger then he maybe able to guard Glory Maelstrom attack.
"No guard"
Rascal charged at Altmile and slashed the knight with his emerald blade.
"Damage trigger, check". [Margal- draw trigger]. "Yosh! Power to Vanguard and I draw 1"
Naruto's mouth twitch when he saw Shion took the 4th damage. Shion noticed something strange. 'Why the heck he smiled when I got trigger and increased my hand?'
"Rascal skill, exchange position with Theta. Theta, attack Twin Sword"
"Intercept!" Shion intercept with Benizel.
"Nikki boost, Sebastian attack Vanguard"
"Guard!" Shion put Sicilus to guard from Sebastian.
"Assassinate Sailor boost, Glory Maelstrom attack! Break ride skill, I retire Twin Sword and draw a card. Also you can't guard with grade 0. Glory Maelstrom Ultimate Break, you can't guard with grade 1 or higher and Glory gets power +5000!"
Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom
Total Power 37000
"Impossible! I can't guard at all!" Shion whispered in shock and disbelief. In his hand is enough grade 0 to guard the attack in normal situation. But in this case he is completely helpless.
"So this is Vanguard Master's power. So overwhelming" muttered Shion in wonder.
"No guard"
"Twin Drive!". [Blue Storm Marine General, Despina- critical trigger]. "I apply all effects to Vanguard". [Blue Storm Soldier, Missile Trooper- critical trigger]. "The same. All effects to Glory Maelstrom!"
Glory unleashed its mighty roar receiving the power of triggers.
Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom.
Total Power 47000
Cr: 3
"D-double critical?" Shion whispered in horror and despair. He literary felt all his strength left him all of a sudden and nearly fell on his knees.
"Like with Chrono, I am ready to take you on any time, Kiba Shion" stated Naruto looking at the younger blond with an expressionless gaze.
"Nothing is over yet! If I get double heal, I can still overcome this turn" Shion still hasn't given up and you could see the flame of determination burn in his eyes. "Damage trigger, check!". [Knight of Twin Sword]. [Healing Pegasus- heal trigger]. "Heal trigger! Vanguard, power +5000 and I heal one"
Shion hesitate to check the third because he already has two Healing Pegasus in his hand. 'Please, let me get another one! Please!'
"Third check!". [Knight of Reform, Pir]. Shion widened his eyes in shock, but admit his defeat by showing Naruto his last damage.

"And its finally end! The winner is Tatsunagi Naruto!" announced Gouki loudly and solemnly. His victory made the fan girls even crazier.
"Kyaa~ Naruto-sama! You are the best!"
"I love you, Naruto-sama~!"
The guys just glared daggers at the clueless Naruto that was scratching his head. 'What is so great about this idiot that the girls are crazy about him?' That was the thought that rang in all the mind of the present males in the audience.
Scene change
But despite Naruto's victory, Try3 still managed to win as both Chrono and Tokoha had defeated their opponent respectively. So right now they are standing on stage to receive a stamp that gave them 10 points.
"Congratulations Try3 for accomplishing Magallanica G-quest" the chief branch congratulated them and gave them a stamp.
The others applaud which make Try3 grinned.
Leon approached Naruto and praised him. "Good job there, Naruto. I see that I was not mistaken entrusting you Glory Maelstrom card"
"Thanks! But you could at least win your match, Leon-san!" Immediately Jilian snatch his ear and growled. "Watch your tongue and think carefully before say anything to Leon-sama!"
Jaime laughed heartily and exclaimed. "Hahaha! The mood will never dull thanks to amigo here!"
Try3 also watching them from their position and had conversation of their own.
"Well, what do you think about Naruto?" asked Chrono staring at the said blond.
"He is strong, no overwhelming even. The tittle of Vanguard Master is really fit him. Now I really can believe that he can play for any clan" replied Shion seriously.
Tokoha decided to join the conversation. "Is he really that strong? I mean I know that he was proclaimed Vanguard Master and all that. But aren't you two overestimate him a bit too much?"
Both Chrono and Shion stared at Tokoha like she had grown a second head. "Than go and taste his strength. first hand"
"Next is Dra- Empire, right? I am sure he will be there for G-quest as well. Seek him out then challenge him" suggest Shion.
Tokoha nodded and replied. "Ok! I am the only member of Try3 that haven't fight him yet. And when I fight I will win!"
"Good luck with that" Chrono stated a bit sarcastically.
