Note : The official first chapter of BuddyVan! Let me remind you that I don't own Buddyfight and Vanguard. They belong to Bushiroad. Into the chapter!

Edit (23/01/2016) : I made it into a longer chapter. It's necessary for the future.

A card game that connected to an alternate universe...

By becoming Buddies with monsters that appear from the cards, engage to a battle with friendship and courage!

It's name is Buddyfight!

"Final Phase! I pay four gauge and Cast!"

"Tsk!"

"Dragon Cavalry Arts, Ultimate Smash!"

"Gah, no!"

The crowd cheered as the match won by the teenager with blue hair, and the other with M-shaped hair grunted in defeat.

"I won." The blue haired boy said.

"Armorknight Black Drake lost?! What a crappy luck I have!" the M-shaped hair boy grunted.

"Morikawa-kun, I don't think it's about your luck but your deck and skil-"

"Shut it! It's just bad luck you know!"

"Just accept your lost, you loser!" a teenager with blond hair beside the blue haired boy said.

"What do you say?!" angered the M haired boy.

"Morikawa calm down!" another boy with dark brown hair said.

"Ha..." sighed the blue haired boy.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Aichi?" asked the blond.

"Is there any other opponent I can Buddyfight, for real?"

"That's, I have no clue."

"Then I guess I won't come next time." replied Aichi.

This surprised the blond, "What? Are you serious?"

"Yes. In fact, I'm going home now. See you next time, Miwa-kun" And as he said that, Aichi go outside of the shop.

"Wait, Aichi!" called Miwa but Aichi already left the shop. "Man, what to do now?" the blond scratched the back of his head.

The next day...

Hitsue High School, one of the school division of Hitsue, and the place where Miwa study, but that doesn't mean the blond does it seriously because...

"So, if you want to solve this kind of equation, you can use this formula for quick answer. But, as this formula cannot solve all equation, you should use-"

"Yeah, yeah. I got it, teach. But let me focus on this deck..." mumbled Miwa, or Miwa the Deck Builder. As the teacher explains his lesson in front of the class, Miwa is busy creating a new deck by writing the concept in his student notebook, almost completely ignoring the teacher.

"And, let's see if you understand the lesson until this point, I need one of you to volunteer to solve this question. If anyone doesn't, I will get to choose. So, please." Unfortunately, the question the teacher asked to do is a difficult one.

'What? Yikes, I don't think anyone can answer that.' thought Miwa. Suddenly, a student in front of the blond, get up from his seat, goes to the black board. While the whole room focuses to the said student, he swiftly answered the question. The teacher, who was standing in front of the black board, shocked and says :

"P-perfect answer... Um-"

"Hiroshi, sir" answered the brown haired-glasses student.

"Great job, Hiroshi. Go back to your seat."

'How did he do that?' is probably what the students in the class thought of Hiroshi, while he doesn't care about it and return to his seat. Ignoring the wide-eyed blond behind him, Hiroshi takes his student notebook from his blazer pocket and opens it. Inside it, is a card of an armored green dragon.

'How was it?'

'That's should do. Well done, Kai.'

The bell is ringing, thus ending the lesson and the school time. Many students start assemble their belonging and put it in their bag, while Miwa quickly inserting his books and writing tool to his bag, leaving his student notebook in hand then rashly leave the class, but he crashed to Hiroshi who is also leaving the class, resulting their notebooks fell.

"Sorry!" apologized Miwa and took off after blindly take the notebook, leaving Hiroshi take other one and checks the book. Hiroshi shocked with what he saw, and start go after Miwa.

'He-he's not inside!'

On the other hand, with his seems to be evading and running skill, Miwa reach the gate of the school and meet the two middle school students from yesterday. "Where's my strongest deck?!" asked Morikawa.

"All right, all right. Keep it down. It's right here." Miwa takes a box with cards in it and gives to the M-haired boy. The latter then checks the contents of the box.

"Are you sure this is the strongest deck? There are many weak monsters here." Complained Morikawa.

"That hurts! That's the best deck I could think of now. If used correctly, I'm sure it can win against Aichi." Explained Miwa.

"Don't speak the name of the guy I'm trying to beat! How i supposed to use this 'said to be strongest deck'?"

"Well, it will take forever to explain it to you, so I wrote the imaginary concept of how the deck should do."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Card Capital! Let's race!" With that, Morikawa took off.

"He-hey! Wait!" Too late, Morikawa has gone too far. Miwa look to the browned haired boy who Morikawa left behind, Izaki. "Hey, Izaki. Can you give the note to Morikawa?"

"What? You're not coming with us?"

"I need to borrow and copy notes from my last lesson. I didn't write anything because of the deck. Here." Miwa hands 'his' notebook to Izaki.

"Is that so? If that's the case," Izaki took the note, "I will make sure Morikawa reads it. I hope Aichi still comes to the shop!" And Izaki left.

"Yeah, me too." To make Aichi stay, yesterday, Miwa promised Aichi to create a deck, strong enough to give the blue haired boy challange, of course the fighter will be Morikawa, not himself. Since he is a Deck Builder, he's not skilled enough to Buddyfight, when he's good at making a deck to have one.

'I'm lucky enough to make him come today, though. I hope Morikawa's skill can make him stay for a little longer, or I will be lonely.' Miwa's train of thought got cut off because there's someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.

"Wha-?!" Miwa turned around to see Hiroshi, staring at him. "I-is there anything I can do for yo-"

"You left this."

"Huh?" asked Miwa, as Hiroshi handed him a student notebook. "What's this?"

"Our notebook got swapped when you bumped to me in the class." Replied the glasses student.

"Really?! Man, thank you! But, wait. If my notebook was with you,-"

"Mine should be with you. Where is it?" asked Hiroshi, but Miwa try assembling the event that just happened. Then he makes a very shocked face.

'Oh. No.' Miwa realized that he's doomed.

Morikawa is in furious mode. Not only Miwa didn't come to watch him beat Aichi, the content of the notebook that was brought by Izaki was nothing but a lone card. How does he know about the deck from a single card? Izaki is beside him and they're now in a shop called Card Capital and try to reasoning him, "Calm down, Morikawa. Maybe the card means that you must keep out for the size 2 mons-"

"How do size 2 monsters beat that kid?!" shouted Morikawa. Unlike other Buddyfighter, Morikawa mostly uses size 3 monster in his deck, without proper line up of spells and items. And monster with size 2 or less are weaklings for him.

"That's I don't know too. I think the card serves as a hint or something. Or, Miwa gave the card as a lucky charm?" replied Izaki, with seemingly ridiculous reasoning.

"This? A lucky charm?" Morikawa eyeing the card. There's no way a size 2 monster card is a lucky charm, he thought. Some time later, the door of the shop slides open, revealing Aichi behind it.

"Welcome." Replied the shop girl, behind the counter.

"Good afternoon. Hm? Morikawa-kun and Izaki-kun?"

"There you are, Aichi! Now, fight me! This time I won't lose!" challenged Morikawa, taking his deck out.

Aichi looks at Morikawa then say, "I refuse."

"What?!"

"I don't mean to be rude but I come here to see Miwa-kun because he said that I can fight him, or rather his deck. I didn't come here to fight you, Morikawa-kun." Explained Aichi.

"But 'his' deck is with me! Look!" Morikawa shows the deck that Miwa built.

"Really? But, since the fighter is Morikawa-kun, I think the result will be the same as usual."

"Wow, Aichi. That's harsh." Commented Izaki. But Morikawa didn't say anything. He needs something that can make Aichi fight him, but what will. That's where Morikawa came up with something.

"Then how about this?" Morikawa spoke, taking a card and show it to Aichi, right at his face. "If you win against me, I will give you this card!"

"Eh? Morikawa?" Izaki shocked with Morikawa's statement. "What're you doing?"

'The card can't be just in the note, right? It looks useless at the first the sight, but this is right time to use it!' thought Morikawa. While Aichi is inspecting the card in front of him. "Since Miwa left this card to us, this card might be special rare card. Or, a Buddy Rare, perhaps~?" said Morikawa in luring voice.

Then Aichi's expression become serious. "Sure. I'll fight you."

"All right! Bring it on!"

Miwa, together with Hiroshi, dashed to Card Capital. The blond avoids the glasses boy, because his glare is to terrifying for him. "If someone ever said that stares might kill people, then this guy's will!"

"Where's the place?" asked Hiroshi, in dead serious tone.

"W-we're almost there!" Miwa answered, and he's really frightened. A banner with Card Capital enters his sight. "We're here!"

The two high school students enter the shop, to find Morikawa already defeated by Aichi. "Morikawa!" called Miwa. Of course, Morikawa recognized the voice and look to the source.

"Miwa. What's the meaning of this?! How can your deck, lost?!" angered Morikawa.

"Eh? You lost already? That's fast." Commented Miwa, sheepishly.

"And what the heck is wrong with your note?! It's nothing!" Shouted the M-haired boy, again.

"Please be quite." Said the shop girl, with stern voice. This make Morikawa silence immediately.

"So-sorry for the ruckus." Apologized Izaki, in Morikawa's place.

"Well, to tell you the truth, it's the wrong note." Miwa starts to explain.

"What?" Morikawa become wide eyed.

"My note got swapped with my classmate, Hiroshi over here." Miwa indirectly introduce Hiroshi, and then take out his notebook. "And the real note is here." The blond ended.

"Seriously?!" shocked Morikawa.

"Hiroshi's here to take his notebook back, so where's it?" asked Miwa.

"Ah, it's here. H-here you go." Replied Izaki, handing the note. Hiroshi swiftly take it from the brown haired middle strudent and checks the content.

"Yo, Aichi. You really came." Greeted Miwa.

"Yes, I did."

"So, how was it? Is what I would to say, I didn't expect you to win that easily. Sorry, if the fight didn't really satisy you. I tried hard you know?"

"It's okay, since I got something from the fight. At least I didn't waste my energy for nothing." Aichi kindly replied.

"Really? What is-"

"Where is it?"

Miwa, Aichi and the other two who got ignored, turned to Hiroshi who is tightly gripped his note, almost crumple it. "Where's my card?" asked Hiroshi again.

"Card? What're you talking about?" said Miwa.

"I put a card inside here, and it's should be inside the note. But now it's gone. Where is it?"

Miwa loss words and turned to Morikawa, but he and Izaki look away when Aichi look at Hiroshi, "Say, the card you meant, is it this one?" then the blue haired boy shows the Jackknife Dragon card he just got.

"Yes, it is! Give it back." Asked Hiroshi.

Aichi look at the card and say, "Sorry, but I can't. This card is mine now."

Hiroshi shocked and gasped. "What?"

"Morikawa-kun challanged me into a Buddyfight with this card as a bet and lost."

"But, it's mine and got nothing to do with it!"

"Unfortunately, the result of Buddyfight is absolute for us, Buddyfighter. Which means this card now belongs to me."

Hiroshi got taken back, but Miwa replied to his aid, "But, Aichi, can't you just let his be bygone? This guy is innocence. It's all on me."

Aichi then quickly said, "He can Buddyfight me to take it back. Since he has this card and precious it, this means that he is a Buddyfighter too, right?"

"Well..." Miwa looks at now silence Hiroshi who just stand there and tightly grasped his hand.

'Fight.' Hiroshi heard a voice. The card dimly glowed on Aichi's hand, but the latter didn't notice it.

'It's the only thing you can do right now. As the boy said, fight him.' He looks at the card and nodded.

'I got it, Jack.' Then Hiroshi looks at Aichi.

"You, Buddyfight me!"

Another note : That's the chapter. And yeah, you should realize that I already make something different (weird) from the beginning. But I hope that didn't stop me from writing and everyone from reading this story. Also, if anyone got better idea for the title, let me know! 'Till next time!

Edit (23/1/2016) : So, I added conversation between Aichi and Hiroshi (Kai) about the card, that resemble Cardfight! Vanguard S1 episode 1, with roles switched. I hope I didn't too messy with Aichi's personality.
