"Tony, please stop worrying," Felicity told the boy. "You'll make yourself sick."
"But I'm worried about my match." Tony gulped.
"You'll make yourself sick though..." Felicity frowned.
"I don't know how to stop worrying!" Tony told her as he looked quite tense and stressed out.
"Yikes." Felicity said.
"Tony...?" Akito called.
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN AT A TIME LIKE THIS!" Tony yelled out.
"Tony, I know this is a lot of pressure for you, but we know that you can win." Akito said.
"I just can't calm down!" Tony panicked.
"You know, a nice warm bath always works for Master Adam." Felicity suggested.
"Alright, maybe that will work." Tony said.
"Try it," Felicity encouraged. "You need to relax."
Tony sighed as he soon went to take a bubble bath, and where the bath worked as he started to calm down. Felicity checked on him and smiled in relief for him.
"Hmm... I wonder if this'll work...?" Drell pondered as he waved his hands around his crystal ball to look into the PSY Qualia. "Please work."
"What are you doing?" Felicity asked.
"Minding my own business..." Drell replied.
Felicity rolled her eyes to that immature response.
"Huh, I can't believe I actually said that..." Drell scoffed. "If I wanted immaturity in my students, I would've tutored Naruto Uzumaki before he controlled the nine-tailed fox."
"Did Uncle Atticus ever meet him?" Felicity asked.
"I'd have to check my documents, but I'm positive he has..." Drell replied. "Dang, this isn't working... Either crystal balls don't work with PSY Qualia, or I'm losing signal with the Witch-Fi."
"Must be either one." Felicity said.
Drell took out his crystal ball and tried to get a signal, but soon slipped in the rain and dropped his crystal ball and it broke. "Oh, man, my mom's gonna ground me until Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the King of Mobius!" he then looked to the others and smiled nervously. "Which... Obviously isn't going to be something in the future, because I'm kidding!"
"Not if we don't tell your mom." Estelle said.
"Aww, Estelle, you're as sweet as Sweetie Belle and Button Mash baking pastries together~" Drell cooed.
Estelle simply smiled.
Drell picked up his crystal ball and frowned to the crack. "How could this happen?" He frowned.
"Don't worry, we can fix it..." Akito smiled.
"Oh, you can try," Drell replied. "This is a priceless family heirloom."
Akito soon used his crystal power on the crystal ball to fix it. Drell took the ball and spun it around before holding it with a smile.
"If that's a family heirloom, why does it say 'Happy Wedding Day, Maroot and Warwick, from Merlin in Abercrombie & Witch'?" Felicity asked.
"I didn't say my family owned it." Drell glared in defense which just made some of the others laugh.
"Oh, brother." Lee smirked.
"Kids these days..." Drell rolled his eyes.
Tony yawned as he soon fell asleep in the bath tub and looked relaxed.
After a while, he was soon placed in bed.
"There, it should be all right in the morning." Drell soothed, showing a soft side to him even if he was a bit of a brute at times.
"Great." Megan said.
"Wow, that's actually nice of you." Felicity said to Drell.
"...No, it's not..." Drell looked around nervously.
"Yes, it is." Akito said.
Drell still looked around.
"Aw, you have a heart, Monsieur!" Felicity cooed. "After all these years, you actually care about others!"
"Yeah." Estelle smiled.
"Don't get used to it..." Drell muttered as he walked past the teenagers.
Everyone else then left so that Tony and Aichi could get the rest they needed after a day like today, and where they would get rest.
Drell checked on everyone as they went to get some rest and did a double take as Estelle decided to share a bed with Lee. "Huh, guess I should have seen that coming." He said.
"Please don't tell Dad," Estelle said. "He might have a heart attack over there. He's accepting of me and Lee, but I don't want him to have the thought of me sharing a bed with a boy."
"You have my word," Drell promised. "You two kinda remind me of when I was younger with Hilda."
"Aw!" Estelle said.
"Just no bed creaking." Drell warned.
"Oh, Drell!" Estelle squirmed and put her pillow over her face. "I already promised myself to wait until marriage!"
"Your parents didn't." Drell smirked on his way out.
"Urgh... Too much information." Estelle whimpered.
"Okay, okay." Drell smirked.
Estelle groaned. Drell soon left them alone and shut the door for them.
"If you want, Estelle, I can go to a different bed..." Lee blushed. "I just thought you'd like some company."
"No, no, I don't mind the company." Estelle said.
"Well, okay," Lee smiled to her. "Comfy?"
"I miss my own bed, but I'm really comfy with you." Estelle smiled back.
"I had a feeling you would." Lee smiled.
Estelle smiled back to him. It seemed to be a peaceful night for everyone as they went to sleep. Except of course for Felicity since she was nocturnal, and where the rain seemed to settle.
"Oh, good, it stopped raining." Felicity said as she looked out the window with Mismagius.
"That's good." Mismagius smiled.
"Hmm... I wonder if I should go for a flight tonight?" Felicity wondered. "Everyone else is sleeping."
"I don't see why not," Mismagius smiled. "I'd love to join you."
Felicity smiled back as she then opened the window to climb outside and go for a nightly flight with her Pokemon while everyone else was asleep, and where it seemed like nothing bad was going to happen. The others were concerned for Tony and Aichi, but were able to fall asleep until the next morning which would be sunny and warm.
The next day soon arrived.
"I had a crazy dream..." Tony muttered. "Planet Cray was under attack from Planet Brandt."
"Really?" Megan asked.
"Well... Yeah." Tony said like it was obvious.
"Whoa." Lee said.
"It was intense..." Tony sighed. "Oh, well, at least I got to fall asleep last night."
"Are you ready for today then?" Marc asked.
"As I'll ever be." Tony shrugged.
"We know you can do this." Akito said.
"I better go freshen up..." Tony replied as he went to the bathroom. "Mom or Dad always seem to do that before a huge day at work."
"Man, I hate to see Tony this way, but at least he's being strong and independent now," Megan replied. "Almost like that time with the Digimon."
"Yeah." Marc smiled.
Tony came up to the mirror and washed his face with cold water to wake himself up and get a grip over what was going on for him and Aichi, and after a short while, he was ready. Everyone else got ready in their own way and waited for Tony to come back to them.
"Hey, Felicity, have a nice flight?" Akito asked his nocturnal cousin.
"Not too bad," Felicity smiled. "The rain cleared up... I hear a raindrop can weigh down a bumblebee in flight."
"And you're right." Tony said.
"Daddy always said that a bug's life is complicated." Estelle said as she seemed to be wearing Lee's jersey.
"Uh... Sis... Are you wearing Lee's shirt?" Akito asked. "Oh, my God, did you two-?!"
"What? No!" Estelle glared. "I felt a little cold, so Lee let me wear his jersey."
"Ohh." Akito sighed.
"Sheesh, Akito!" Estelle rolled her blue eyes. "You're worse than Dad!"
Akito smiled sheepishly to his twin sister.
"Anyway, we better get going." Lee said.
"You ready to go then, Tony?" Estelle asked.
Tony nodded his head.
"Okay, let's go." Estelle smiled.
Tony soon made his way to where the cardfight match would be. There was a quick recap of yesterday's cardfight match as everyone came for the next one today, and where this would decide how the world would end up. Emi looked very concerned for her brother.
"I'm sure Aichi will be fine." Drell said.
"Huh?" Emi blinked and turned around to the warlock.
"Your brother will be fine." Drell said.
"Uh... Thanks... Um, who are you again?" Emi asked. "Are you Akito, Estelle, and Vincent's father or something?"
"My name is Drell and I'm their... Uncle." Drell said.
"Oh... Okay." Emi replied.
"Works every time," Drell whispered to himself in victory. "Just call me the Uncle Joey of the Fudo family."
Everyone soon watched Tony's match. For once in his life, Tony looked quite serious and mature, even as a W.O.O.H.P agent, and he was ready to take down Kouji.
"Tony!" The fan girl gasped for the black-haired boy from America.
"Oh, great... Her..." Tony groaned before focusing.
Kouji brought out his cards with a glare. Tony did the same as he glared back into his opponent's crimson eyes.
"Whoa!" Lee, Megan, and Marc said as they went wide-eyed.
Tony growled slightly. Kouji narrowed his eyes as he played his most dangerous cards to weaken Tony. Luckily for Tony, his determination kept him strong. Drell was even biting his nails in suspense as even he didn't know how this would end.
'This is it, the final fight between Tony Clark and Kouji Ibuki,' Miya announced. 'The winner will receive the Messiah Card-'
There was soon rumbling and more dark clouds came.
'What's happening?!' Miya panicked with the crowd. 'Evacuate, everyone!'
Tony and Kouji were soon being moved underground together while the people panicked.
"What's happening!" Megan panicked.
"Is it the end of the world?!" Felicity asked.
"This is more serious than I thought..." Drell said. "The fate of the world for Cardfight Vanguard, Planet Cray, and the world we know as our own, rests on Tony's shoulders. He must win that Neon Messiah card."
"And he will." Lee said.
"Do you think so?" Drell asked the eldest Clark sibling.
"We know so." The Clark siblings said.
Drell shrugged to them as he didn't think so himself. Tony glared at Kouji as it was down between the two of them almost like a Wild West shoot out at high noon, and where neither of them held back. Drell looked so overwhelmed that he even passed out and fell flat on the ground. The group just knew Tony would win.
"Princess Celestia, I don't know if you answer prayers outside of Equestria, but please hear me out..." Akito frowned as he stared out into the sky. "Please... Help my friend, Tony Clark... We need him to save Planet Cray."
A heavenly light soon shined down on Tony.
