Pairing: Kai/Ami
Disclaimers: Sailor Moon and Cardfight! Vanguard belong to Takeuchi-sensei and Akira Itō-sensei respectively. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except the pairing and the fic idea.
Chapter 11: VF Circuit: Light and Nothingness
"Sacrifices are necessary for all things." Leon declared. "The enslaved soldiers of Cray, or even the little girl who's the Queen of Cray; all of them are for the revival of the Souryu people and the re-emergence of Aqua Force."
"Wrong!" Aichi snapped. "I understand your anger. But what you did to the Cray soldiers and Ami for that purpose, sacrificing other people, it's just wrong. And I won't let you get away with this."
"You'll become my next sacrifice, Sendou Aichi." Leon stated.
"Stand up, Vanguard!" the final match started.
"I go first." Aichi took his turn. "Draw. I ride Advance of the Black Chains, Kahedin. Corron moves back."
"The wind has told me the end result of this fight." Leon remarked. "This is the moment of my victory." he sent the image of Maelstrom taking out Blonde Ezel to Aichi. "And the result. This is inevitable. It's an unavoidable fate. Your resistance will come to nothing."
"I won't let you do that." Aichi swore.
"I'm positive the wind won't blow on you." Leon added. "I ride. Tri-holl moves. Call. And then, I attack. Vanguard, Cyprus. Tri-holl. With it's skill, if it's the third battle or more, it gets +3000 power."
"I guard with Silver Fang Witch." Aichi fended.
"Turn end." Leon ended his turn.
"Draw." Aichi took his turn. "I ride Knight of Superior Skills, Beaumains. Call. Gareth attacks. Beaumains attacks with a boost from Corron."
"Critical trigger." Leon activated the trigger in his Damage Zone. "I add +5000 to the power of my Vanguard, Cyprus."
"Knight of Passion, Bagdemagus, attack his rear-guard Cyprus." Aichi continued his attack.
"Guard." Leon defended. "I ride Tear Knight, Lazarus. Cyprus moves back. Call. Lazarus, attack Beaumains."
"Critical trigger." Aichi activated the trigger in his Damage Zone. "I add +5000 to the power of Beaumains."
"Cyprus boosts." Leon continued. "Coral Assault attacks Bagdemagus."
"I guard with Flame of Victory." Aichi defended.
"Tri-holl attacks Gareth." Leon continued his assault. "With its skill, it gets +3000 power."
"This..." Ren looked up at the cracking sky above them.
"The space has begun to collapse." Kai realized. Aichi, hurry. We don't have much time.
"We have to hurry." unknown to the two members of New AL4, Aichi was also in the same wavelength. "White-hot warrior, use your explosive flames to lead the despairing people to hope. I ride Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel. Call. Everyone, give your power to Blond Ezel. Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore, attack Lazarus. Blond Ezel attacks with a boost from Corron. Next. Bagdemagus."
"Guard." Leon fended. "Tear Knight, Theo. All your struggles are for naught. The wind is on my side. Behold! Wash away all vice in the flow of a furious flood. I ride Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom. Tri-holl moves back. Call. Lysander, go."
Void then managed to strike Aichi down with its power. "What is this?" he got back to his feet. "My strength... my drive to win this battle is..."
"Lysander's skill, Counterblast." Leon continued, swapping Tri-holl back into the front row. "You're shivering. Tri-holl attack. With a boost from Cyprus, Coral Assault attacks. Since this is the third attack, it gets +3000 power. And then, Maelstrom, Limit Break! This is the fourth battle. Maelstrom gets +5000 power. You already have damage, so if this attack hits..."
"I won't let it." Aichi swore. "I guard with Dantegal and Viviane."
"Twin drive check." Leon drew two cards. "Critical trigger. I give all the effects to Maelstrom. Second check."
Void power finally overwhelmed him, causing Aichi to faint.
Aichi, don't forget. Harmonia sent her Cosmo to Aichi, along with Blaster Blade Spirit. I, too, stand behind you in this battle.
"I'm not done." Aichi pulled himself back up, Void's power was being expelled by Harmonia's Cosmo, his deck was shining a familiar blue glow. "I'm not giving up on this fight. I'll fight to the end with these friends and I'm going to beat you. Stand and draw. Blond Ezel, Limit Break! Counterblast. I superior call one Gold Paladin unit. Stand up, my avatar! Blaster Blade Spirit! The amount of Blaster Blade's power is added to Blond Ezel's power. Blaster Blade Spirit's skill. I retire Coral Assault from the field. I call Silver Fang Witch. Soulblast. Draw. Blond Ezel's power increases for each of its friends on the field. Bagdemagus attacks."
"Draw trigger." Leon activated the trigger in his Damage Zone. "I give the power to Maelstrom. And then draw."
"With a boost from Corron, Blond Ezel..." Aichi ordered the attack.
"Perfect guard with Paschal." Leon defended.
"With a boost from Silver Fang, Sagramore..." Aichi continued his attack.
"Guard." Leon fended.
"Turn end." Aichi ended his turn.
"I sense your wind." Leon stated. "No, you and your 'friends'. I suppose you called them along with the wind. But to me, your wind is a foul fate. If my people, the Souryu, are defeated by you, we'll die out. I will not accept that fate. Ever victorious and thus righteous. Someone who relies on friends wouldn't understand. I'm going to win. Absolutely invincible! Absolutely righteous! That's Aqua Force! Dragon spun into existence from the wrap of the wind and the weft of the sea, live up to the legend of your ideal form. I crossride, Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom! You remember, don't you, Sendou? The image I showed you of Glory Maelstrom. Even if the wind of you and your friends carries justice, there's no doubt, I'll destroy it. Together with this Blue Storm Supreme Dragon. Bear this in mind. Justice is on our side."
The sudden burst of Cosmo had weakened Harmonia's rapidly depleting energy even further and causing the girl to almost fall to her knees, if not for Kai who managed to stabilize her with an arm around her waist.
"Aichi, hurry, or Harmonia will..." Ren turned to the direction of the cardfight.
