Wow hello people! Sorry I was late, I was busy with IRL stuff, hope you enjoy this chapter guys!

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardfight Vanguard.

The Fist Descends


"Hey guys..." Takeru smiled as he looked at his friends who just entered the room.

"Takeru!" Sakuya was the first to reply as she enveloped said boy in a hug making him fluster quite a lot, considering she did hug him, but she blushed too as she backed up realizing what she did. "I-I'm glad you're ok."

"T-Thanks... Sakuya..."

"Well now that you're feeling better," Satoshi smiled but his expression immediately adopted a more inquisitive tone. "How did it feel, to do that Generation Guard?"

"I honestly don't know," the bluenette answered as he sat straight up on his bed. "It was such a unique feeling... I felt that I was going to lose to Leon-san... But... I somehow gained confidence in my skill, but that card." He reached for his deck and pulled out the card that assured his survival in Leon's turn. "Shield Penance... Iseult."

"We got caught off guard when you used something that no one ever did, but like, it was like you were a totally different person."

"How is that so Claire-san? I don't really remember what happened after Leon-san declared his last Vanguard attack." He answered as he picked up a glass of water and started drinking from it.

"It was like, you spoke in a calmer and confident manner." The blonde said. "We were really surprised when you addressed Leon-san in a more casual tone."

Takeru who was drinking water, almost immediately spitting it out, thankfully no one he knows was in front of him. "Really?! I did that?!"

"Yeah, wow... You forgot one of the more crucial parts." Claire commented to which the doctor came in.

"Well it seems everyone is here, well, Takeru-kun all the tests on you proved to be fine, so you're free to go." That was a huge air of good news to the four, who after waiting for a while, then went on their way to Kai Rebirth school. But when they arrived at said school they saw a guy with red hair and yellow eyes. All four gasped.

"I-Ishida Naoki of Tatsunagi Corporations Vanguard School?!" Sakuya inquired at such a shocked tone. After all, this person was one of the best Vanguard players in the world right now. However, he is still some distance from Leon's level.

"Yeah that's me, and you." The old redhead said, he was in a dark red shirt and blue pants, he had a look of happiness and interest on the boy. "You're Kousaka Takeru right?"

"Y-Yeah..." Takeru was legitimately shocked that he was even recognized, more so by one of the school's greatest cardfighters.

"I'm sure you know who I am already, anywho..." His tone turned serious, "I want to congratulate you on winning against Leon... So..." He scratched the back of his head. "I would want to fight you," At this though, despite hiding it in a facade, Satoshi clenched his fist once more.

'Takeru… again?!' The blonde thought as he overlooked.

"R-really... M-me?"

"Yeah, also... Because I want to check something..." Naoki's voice went serious at this, but was mostly ignored as they went to the battle area of the school, where both of them then set their hands and did the standard pre-game procedure, before both of them looked at each other. Meanwhile, Sakuya, Claire and Satoshi then waited at the side.

"So, are you ready?"

"Yes, Naoki-san."

"San... Huh?" The redhead was holding back a small laugh as he smiled. "I'll go first if you don't mind."

"U-Uh... O-of course... Well then..."

"Stand up, Vanguard!" Both of them said as they flipped up their starter.

"Guidepost Sage, Elron!"

"Ambush Dragon Eradicator, Rinchu! Draw, ride Assault Eradicator, Saikei. My starter moves, turn end."

In a clear field in a mountainous area and separated by a bridge, two different symbols came out, one red and blue, and when the symbols collapsed on themselves, two beings came forth. One was a sort of mage, wielding nothing but a spell book and while not wielding any sort of armor, is donning a robe. Opposing him was a boy dressed more for battle wielding a sword as well as his clothes having been battered from previous battles. And as he appeared, the same circles from before came forth once more and converged on him, replacing him with another human. This one had red hair, and more armor, the one who came first appearing behind him.

"Draw, I'll ride Junos! Elron moves and I call both Laura and Junos, Laura boosts, my vanguard Junos attacks!"

With Vanguard symbols appearing, they all collided on Elron, with him being replaced by a man who looked like a younger Blaster Dark, with white armor, and another identical knight to his right while the mage appeared behind him, but exactly behind the newcomer was a girl knight. While both Junos units were armed with a bigger sword, Laura's was armed with a Rapier. But as soon as the new knight came forth, he charged at the opposing Eradicator in front of him. (Power:14000)

"No guard."

(Drive Check- Psion Rider- Critical)

"Power to the rear and critical to my vanguard Junos."

(Damage Check- Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon)

(Damage Check- Worm Toxin Eradicator, Seiobo- Heal)

"Heal trigger, I'll give power to my vanguard, and I'll heal."

Saikei was sent reeling back from the blow but as he skidded through the rocks he thrust his sword on the ground, before using it to help him stand back up.

"Attack!"

The second Junos then brought his sword onto the enemy in front of him, who didn't resist as he got hit squarely in the chest.

(Damage Check- Eradicator, Spark Rain Dragon)

"Turn end."

"Draw... Heh... I'll show my power! I ride Zuitan, and call, Rochishin, Spark Rain, Saikei and Ouei."

Saikei raised his sword up as lightning rained on him, and in his place, was a man armed with two swords while riding a red dragon, while to his left stood a red dragon armed with claws with a gunner Eradicator to his back. Meanwhile, to the right of Zuitan was yet another red dragon, except this time, it was a dragon man armed with a sort of electric sword and behind him was Saikei again.

"A full field?"

"I have a bad feeling about this," Satoshi said.

"Rinchu boosts, my vanguard attacks!"

"No guard..."

Zuitan then wielded his two swords in an attacking manner as he rode his dragon to attack.

(Drive Check- Eradicator, Blue Gem Carbuncle- Draw)

"Draw Trigger! I'll give power to Rochishin, and draw."

The two swords of Zuitan then brought his blades on the young knight who got sent reeling.

(Damage Check- Swordsman of Light, Blaster Axe Guerrard)

"Rinchu's skill, I pay the cost, and move him to my soul, I retire Elron, and now with Zuitan's skill, I can both counter charge and soul charge. Spark Rain attacks your vanguard!"

(Soulcharge: Deadly Eradicator, Ouei)

After Junos got hit by the twin swords the dragon to the left of Zuitan then rushed at the central Royal Paladin who didn't resist as he felt the claws collide with his chest, sending him sprawling backwards.

(Damage Check- Swordsman of Light, Blaster Rapier Laura)

"Rochishin attacks." Takeru couldn't do anything but let the attack through.

(Damage Check- Bringer of Good Luck, Epona- Critical)

As if Junos' worries were done, the final dragon man came out of nowhere, slicing him square at the back, sending him rolling back to his starting point heavily wounded, but miraculously still able to stand.

"Turn end."

"Stand and Draw... Protect your comrades, my avatar, Blaster Blade!" He shouted as he slammed the card into his vanguard circle.

With a final battle cry Junos raised his sword up, by now, he was already heavily wounded, with his armor ripped up and in pieces, but that didn't stop him as he shouted to the heavens, and in reply lightning struck his position, covering him in smoke, and when it cleared, standing in the bridge, was a knight armed with a white sword, armed for battle. The hero of the United Sanctuary has arrived.

"Blaster Blade... Long time no see..." Naoki said the first out loud, but the last part quietly, looking at the unit like an old friend which wasn't noticed by Takeru.

"Blaster Blade's skill, I retire Rochishin. Junos moves back, and call, Benon, Ahmes. Benon's skill, I superior call Mirron from my deck, and with Mirron's skill I can draw a card. Benon attacks your vanguard!" He did this in sequence, removing Junos from his soul to pay the cost of the draw.

"No guard."

(Damage Check- Eradicator, Egghelm Dracokid)

As the knight of light arrived at the battlefield a new knight came at his right side, looking identical to him if it was not for the fact that this one looked much younger than the hero himself. And to his left a man in blue robes appeared armed with a staff. And behind him a girl with dark blue robes materialized as the Vanguard symbols behind Benon collapsed. And as soon as the female arrived the more experienced mage then charged up his magic, sending it at Zuitan who despite attempting to use the sword like a shield, failed miserably as the blow almost sent him off his mount.

"Blaster Blade!"

The hero himself then charged to the fray, running through the bridge at almost inhuman speed, almost jumping up when he almost reached the enemy dragon.

Naoki shrugged, showing that he is not guarding.

(Drive Check- King of Knights Alfred)

(Damage Check- Supreme Army Eradicator, Zuitan)

With as much force as he can muster, Blaster Blade sent swiped the sword in a horizontal manner and while the Eradicator tried his best to shield himself to the blow, the experience of the knight won in the end with the impact of the blades disarming the dragon rider.

"Ahmes!"

(Damage Check- Worm Toxin Eradicator, Seiobo- Heal)

"I heal one damage."

With the successful hit of his future self, the younger version then rushed at Zuitan, who caught off guard, couldn't mount any kind of defense as Ahmes gripped the sword tightly as he used it to execute a Shoryuken like attack. (I also do not own Street Fighter)

"Turn end."

"Nice, Naoki-san is in 4 damage now." Sakuya cheered but Takeru's opponent was unfazed.

"You know... I'm glad you're using Royal Paladin, though I'm a bit surprised... Considering that we keep hearing of a Gold Paladin user." While Sakuya was confused, both Yamato siblings weren't as the elder had his fist clenched. His younger sister was worried as she looked at her brother.

"Ni-san..."

'He played against Takeru to check if he was THAT Gold Paladin user?' He thought as he heard that.

"I'll show you my Narukami... AND MY FIST! Stand and Draw..." He then placed the card on his chest. "My heart is on fire, it tells me to fight until the end, let my fist reach all! Ride! Gauntlet Buster Dragon!"

As the Vanguard symbols crashed onto Zuitan, a new dragon took his place, this one was red and plated with armor, with his claws seemingly feeling like daggers on its own, it then looked at the knight in front of him, ready to tear him to bits.

The redhead smiled. "Ouei's skill, I move him to the soul... And my opponent retires a unit in their front row."

"What?" The bluenette was shocked as he retired Benon.

"Gauntlet Buster's Limit Break, power plus 3000 and critical plus 1... Now I'll call Angercharge, and with his skill, I counterblast, and put the top card of my deck to the damage zone... I retire one rear-guard in your front row." He said this as he flipped a card in his damage zone as well as placing the top card of his deck, which was Spark Rain, into the damage zone.

"What?" Takeru was shocked again as he was forced to retire another rear-guard. He regretfully retired Ahmes.

"Saikei's skill, countercharge." Naoki then moved out the Zuitan in his soul as he flipped his counterblast back up. "Limit Break again. Now... Gauntlet Buster's Especial Counterblast, you have to retire one of your rear-guards." He said this as he flipped down two cards in his damage zone.

Takeru was seriously shocked on how much he was placed in a corner, he decided to retire Mirron, but when he saw Naoki pay the cost again, he retired his Junos.

The second that Gauntlet came in, Blaster Blade held his sword in a defensive manner, however, when a new dragon them came to his opponent's right the gunner behind him then took aim and shot Benon, sending him to bits, and as if that was bad, as Gauntlet exerted power, so too did the newcomer dragon, who was brownish red in nature and armed with fists ready for battle. Together the two channeled power which somehow caused lightning to rain on the Paladin's field, striking each of the other knights one by one as they screamed in pain, and when it was gone, Blaster Blade only found himself and Laura who was equally shocked, alone against the enemy in front of them.

"W-wow..." Sakuya was shocked beyond belief... "Takeru just lost his entire field...

"That's not all." Claire said, "With 4 rear-guards retired, Gauntlet Buster gets 12000 power and critical plus 4."

"Gauntlet Buster, attack Blaster Blade."

"Perfect Guard!" Takeru hastily replied as he discarded a copy of Galehault in his hand.

As soon as the central Eradicator rushed at Blaster Blade, a girl with blonde hair suddenly rushed in front of the knight who raised her hands outwards as a green barrier came in response to it, blocking the blow meant for the knight.

"Twin Drive."

(Drive Check- Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon)

(Drive Check- Worm Toxin Eradicator, Seiobo- Heal)

"Heal trigger, power goes to Angercharge, and I'll heal one damage. Spark Rain!"

(Damage Check- King of Knight's Adjutant, Galehault

"Angercharge!"

(Damage Check- Swordsman of Light, Blaster Rapier Laura)

Out of nowhere both Spark Rain and Angercharge rushed at Blaster Blade hitting him one after another with precision, leaving the knight severely weakened.

"Turn end. Resolving the skill of Angercharge, I heal one damage." Naoki said as he healed yet another damage.

"A-Amazing... In an instant, Takeru has been cornered so much..." As all this happened, Takeru looked at his hand, and then his field.

"I...I have to push forward..." He resolutely said as he raised a card. "Ride, King of Knights Alfred... And then, Stride Generation! Holy Dragon, Legit Sword Dragon." He then discarded a copy of Galehault in his hand.

In the field, the hero of light raised his sword up to the heavens, letting the vanguard symbols manifest from the sword itself as it swallowed him, and as the light disappeared, a man riding a steed can be seen, both him and the horse are armed and ready for battle. He then roared with more power as a new being, a giant white dragon, and armed with a powerful sword on its right, took the leaders place, ready for battle.

"Woah... I didn't know Takeru had that unit." Satoshi commented.

"Well... I hastily handed it to him before the match started." Sakuya admitted blushing.

"I'll call Benon, and with his skill, I'll call Mirron, and then draw with Mirron's skill. I'll then call Junos, and now, with Legit Sword's skill, I'll call Ahmes from my deck, and he gets 2000 power. Junos gets 5000 from his skill, and Laura gives a continuous 1000 to Alfred, even when I stride, now Benon attacks Spark Rain!"

Naoki let the attack through as Takeru rested his Vanguard. "Legit Sword."

Back on the field more allies answered the call as the dragon raised its sword up, to the left, the two mages from before appeared at the ready, and to the right, came Junos with his sword ready, however, at the arrival of the younger Blaster Blade, his sword started to hum with more power, but it was not over yet, as the dragon charged. As that happened, the two mages took down one of the dragons flanking Gauntlet.

"No guard."

"Triple Drive!"

(Drive Check- Swordsman of Light, Junos)

(Drive Check- King of Knights, Alfred)

(Drive Check- Yggdrassil Maiden, Elaine- Heal Trigger)

"Heal trigger, I'll heal one damage, and give power to Ahmes!"

"Damage Check."

(Damage Check- Eradicator, Blue Gem Carbuncle- Draw Trigger)

"Draw Trigger, I'll draw and I'll give 5000 to Gauntlet Buster."

"Ahmes attacks"

"No guard."

(Damage Check- Deadly Eradicator, Ouei)

"Turn end."

Despite the red dragon's best efforts, he just couldn't block the blow of the being, receiving a massive blow to the chest. Not only that, but the younger hero also had his sword strike his midsection, but it was not enough to beat it, not by a long shot.

"Heh... You're not bad, stand and draw... Stride Generation! Lightning Dragon Knight, Zorras, and I'll call Spark Rain, Zorras attacks your vanguard." He did this in succession, discarding a copy of Gauntlet Buster from his hand. Before calling back the unit Takeru just attacked in the previous turn.

Refusing defeat, the dragon unleashed a powerful battle cry, letting lightning strike him, and when it was gone, a human appeared on the side of the Eradicators, he was wielding a powerful scythe like weapon, but unlike Alfred, he was riding a dragon. He then unleashed his power, causing a massive cyclone to form just from its power alone, encircling around the king.

"No guard..." He didn't have enough guard… he had to risk it.

"Drive check!"

(Drive Check- Worm Toxin Eradicator, Seiobo- Heal Trigger)

(Drive Check- Eradicator, Wyvern Guard, Guld)

(Drive Check- Eradicator, Angercharge Dragon)

"Heal trigger! I'll give power to Angercharge, and heal one damage."

(Damage Check- Yggdrassil Maiden, Elaine- Heal Trigger)

"Heal Trigger, I heal one damage and power to Alfred."

The cyclone sucked the king of the knights in, trashing him helplessly as the dragon knight brought his weapon down on the king which while getting the latter out of the cyclone, still hurt a lot as there was smoke covering where he crashed.

"Zorras' skill! You have to retire one rear-guard of your choice."

"Mirron..." Takeru regretfully said.

"Now... I choose 2 units in your drop zone to bind, Elron and Holy Knight! And now Spark Rain attacks!

"Intercept!" He declared as he moved Benon from the rear to the guardian circle.

"Angercharge!"

(Damage Check- Margal- Draw Trigger)

As Zorras raised his weapon up, it retired one of the mages to his left, which was a signal for the remaining dragons to charge, however, the remaining mage stood in front of the injured warrior, protecting him from one of the two assailants. The other one though, broke through hitting the already injured king.

"Turn end."

Assault Eradicator, Saikei – Eradicator, Angercharge Dragon = None- None

At this Takeru was gasping, he has a look of both fear and amazement, especially in how his opponent was, but decided to force it down as he calmed himself.

"It's not over yet! Stride Generation! Transmigratory Dragon! Holy Squire Dragon!" He shouted as he discarded the Alfred in his hand, "And... Call! Guerrard, Junos and Holy Squire's skill! All my rear-guards get 2000 power! And I'll give 15000 to Holy Squire! Now, Ahmes attacks!" As he did each move in succession, the bluenette became more calm, and more focused with his goal the only thing on his mind. His voice becoming more confident.

"So... That is you..." Naoki smiled as he let the attack through. While he knew it was a big and complete misplay, he wanted to see how far the boy in front of him will go.

The king appeared out of the smoke, injured and battered, but not out of the fight, abandoning his sword he shouted with a huge battle cry as his remaining allies raised their weapons up, answering his call, and, so did a dragon, appearing on the battlefield, to let the king rest. This dragon was armed with no weapons unlike the previous one, instead its hands themselves brim with power. But the king's call did not just call him, all around the dragon, came a second Junos, and in front of him appeared a knight wielding two axes, and to the right of the dragon, the younger Blaster Blade returned, his sword pointed at the enemy. It was not to last, as he closed the distance like no tomorrow and pierced the dragon's chest, jumping off in time to avoid a devastating retaliation from his target's fists.

(Damage check- Deadly Eradicator, Ouei)

"No trigger. But now, you will use his skill… won't you?" The bluenette smiled at the redhead's accurate prediction, while a blue glow appeared in Takeru's eyes.

"Ahmes' skill! Counterblast and I can call a specific card in my deck! Stand up again! My Avatar!" He said as he pointed his hand high up in the air. "Blaster Blade! Ahmes is retired, but with his skill, Blaster Blade's skill can be used at no cost! I retire Spark Rain, both Junos units and Grawl get 5000 power. Now Holy Squire attacks!"

Ahmes had his sword strike the ground as light covered him, manifesting in one that looks like him, or rather, it is him, in the future, who picked up the sword, and ready to attack. Meanwhile, the dragon, seeing his allies at the ready decided to help clear the way, sending his fists down on the enemy.

"Perfect Guard!"

(Drive Check- Bringer of Good Luck Epona)

(Drive Check- Sarugal- Stand Trigger)

(Drive Check- Swordsman of Light, Blaster Axe Grawl)

"I'll give the critical as well as 5000 to Blaster Blade, stand Junos,and give the other 5000 power to Guerrard. Guerrard!"

"Guard!" Naoki said as he placed a copy of Pollux and Seibo on his guardian circle. "Intercept!" he added while sliding his Spark Rain in as well.

"Blaster Blade!"

"I'm not the same as the first time now." Naoki commented smiling. "Perfect Guard."

"Turn end." The bluenette smiled back at his opponent.

None – Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon = King of Knights, Alfred– Swordsman of Light Blaster Rapier Laura

Assault Eradicator, Saikei – Eradicator, Angercharge Dragon = Swordsman of Light, Blaster Axe Grawl – Swordsman of Light, Junos

Too fast to tell, everything happened in sync, the three paladins at the front charged at the Eradicator, while the dragon and the hero were blocked by a single purple dragon with an impenetrable shield in front of them, the twin axe wielder was blocked by three Eradicators, while one was a human with a lightning bolt in his hands, the other was a sort of girl like figure with a snakes body and the two were struggling until one of the dragons came in and helped them, regardless they stopped the blow heading for Gauntlet Buster.

"I promised... I would be stronger... And I'll show you that! Stand and draw!" When he said that, Naoki's fighter aura got so intense that it affected even the observers.

"Wow... I... Never felt like this from watching Naoki-san's fights..." Satoshi commented as he felt shivers run down his spine.

"I know ni-san... It's so weird." Claire nodded.

"Takeru..." Despite being scared herself, Sakuya was more concerned for the bluenette.

"Stride Generation!" The redhead declared as he placed a card in his Vanguard Circle. "True Eradicator, Finish Blow Dragon!"

The red dragon clasped its fist together before splitting them apart, yelling as a new power emerged from within him, a power that caused light to fall on him. Changing him, in his place, was a much bigger dragon, his armor is much more proper compared to the one before him, but more so, was the fists, which brimmed with even more power.

"Finish Blow's skill! Counterblast, and I flip up another Finish Blow, my vanguard gets 5000 and a critical every time a rear-guard is retired, and since my heart card is Gauntlet Buster, I can retire Blaster Blade! And I'll call Angercharge and with his skill I can force my opponent to retire one of their rear-guards in the front row! With Saikei's skill, countercharge! 2 rear-guards were retired, so my Vanguard gets 10000 power and 2 critical! Now, Finish Blow Dragon attacks!" Naoki didn't bother to wait for Takeru to pick Grawl, as that card was the only one left anyway.

"Generation Guard! Shield Penance, Iseult!" Takeru immediately declared from what he remembered according to the video replay. "I'll use her skill, shield plus 10000! And Guard!" He added in the stand trigger he got from last turn. He then looked at his hand.

Coming to the defense of the king, a girl with dark colored skin and white hair came in front of him, holding her hands out as a massive shield appeared to protect her allies, she was then joined by a brown dog that was at least armed, regardless they stood in front of the massive dragons protecting their comrades.

'As long as he doesn't get 2 Criticals, I can survive by only having 5 damage..."

"Triple Drive!" Naoki said as he reached for his deck. "I'll show you the power of my fist!"

(Drive Check- Sacred Spear Eradicator, Pollux- Critical Trigger)

"I'll give all effects to my Vanguard!"

"To his Vanguard?!" The 3 spectators wondered as Takeru sighed.

"As long as he doesn' get a second trigger..."

"2nd check!"

(Drive Check- Wyvern Guard, Guld)

"3rd Check... Hyeaaaaggghhh!"Naoki grunted as he reached for the top card and flipping it face up, his eyes widened as the the yellow critical mark flashed bright.

(Drive Check- Eradicator, Yellow Gem Carbuncle- Critical Trigger)

"YES! I'll give all effects to my Vanguard! Go Finish Blow Dragon!"

(Damage Check- King of Knight's Lieutenant Galehault)

(Drive Check- Blaster Blade)

"I lost..." Takeru smiled at his opponent. "Thank you Naoki-san." His tone now became humbler than it was during the match.

"Heh, it was a pleasure, but if you want to really test yourself, I'll wait for you in the championship." The redhead gave a thumbs up as he went out the door, but not before looking around and telling them. "Kai, he would be really happy to see his students become this good." Now that surely got a reaction, as all of them were surprised that Naoki knew their teacher.

"Kai-san?" All of them were shocked but none more than Claire, who looked down a bit.

"Anywho, I'll be seeing you people soon. See ya." Naoki waved as he left the building.

"Well... You know what that means?" Satoshi asked as his sister and his friends nodded to him.

"Yes... We have to practice." Sakuya agreed before she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Sakuya, let's practice." Claire said.

"You got it," the redhead nodded as the bluenette left the stage so that both her and the other girl could setup.


Chapter End.

Hey guys! So what's up! Again sorry I'm late, so yeah I have Naoki here to inspire the four to join the tournament, so next chapter, yeah next chapter will be Sakuya vs Claire, let's see how it goes, until then guys, see you all.

Reviewer's Response:

ronin warriors fanatic: While it would seem strange, the thing is, in ARC-V each of the dimensions only focused on one mechanic, so since the unknown man was using all Limit Break, it would be weird to see him use Legion as well. That and on a gameplay aspect, why wouldn't one use Aglovale, as the easy 1 counterblast and Lib vanguard basically means you can pretty much assure a call on any Liberator only deck.

D3lph0xL0v3r: Thanks! Hope you continue to like it more.

decode9: Well, guess you'll find out soon enough and thank Colbalt that fight was made by him.
