(S1) EVENT: The Vangard National Tournament

<< < (2/2)

Hope:
Both fighters placed their decks onto their respective zones. The Vanguard National semi-finals started off with a stadium of silence, save the heartbeat of both fighters, which pounding with such intensity that it would have been no surprise if the audience had heard them.

"Ohayou minna thank you for coming out today!" Hana waved at the crowd, breaking the silence. A cheer roar across the audience.

And so the fight began.


The first battle raged on for a good amount of time, with Soul Saver Dragon fighting against Pacifica and both fights neck and neck, neither wavering.Eventually it came down to Hana's last four cards in the deck. She rode Lena in order to keep from Pacifca's skill from activating. And through having used Pacifica's skill throughout the game, she was able to put a critical trigger onto the bottom which sealed the deal.


The second game started quickly with Itou having to ride Palamedes instead of Soul Saver Dragon. He eventually recovered, riding into Alfred and using Pongal's skill to ride Soul Saver Dragon. He was able to push Hana to a good amount of damage and reduce her hand enough to create an effective finishing turn with Soul Saver Dragon's Skill.


The final with both fighters each having scored a win, Hana's idol persona has not wavered despite the results of the last game. She makes comeback riding Pacifica. In a game that was heal for heal. she scores critical triggers with eventually wins her the game.

Hana Isabella Espoir goes to the finals.

Kisaragi Zane:
Jellal walked into the stage. He blocked out the crowd and concentrated everything on this moment. He saw the tall male waiting on the opposite side for him. Jellal was shaking and trembling with excitement: aiming for the top is what he sets his sights to. He armed himself with the Shadow Paladin deck and stepped forward sitting the deck down on the table, mirrored by his opponent. No greetings were exchanged...yet. The first match started, and quite boldly: the man facing Jellal declared himself as the "King of Vanguard", known as Cero Kirguis. Of course, Jellal had heard something like this before from Yukin- sorry, Hikari, being called The Chosen One.

"These people and their self-important titles..." Jellal thought, annoyed, but didn't care too much because he knew to get to the top, he had to beat the "King".

Game 1, Jellal saw Royal Paladins but a few interesting units he took note of. Snogal, Bleugal, and 2 forms of Garmore. Jellal completed the ride chain, however when he saw Cero ride Soul Saver Dragon and not use his skill, he started to question his opponents ability as a cardfighter. "Why on earth would he ride that now of all times?" he thought. The same unit that was held dear to Kaze Ryuenji, opposite to Phantom Blaster Dragon: Soul Saver. The match played out but ended in Cero's favor. Disappointed by his loss, Jellal felt the urge to continue, which was noted by Cero.

Game 2, Tragedy struck. No Javelin for Jellal... or rather.. No Grade 1 at all for Jellal. He was stuck on Fullbau for a full turn but he needed massive hand advantage with an early draw trigger. Jellal was offered to get a grade 1 from the deck, and he chose Javelin but didn't use his skill to search out his avatar. Everything was going good, however, Cero had questioned whether or not Jellal knew of Hikari. Cero then said he deemed Hikari as his rival, and seeing Jellal in place of her meant that he had became better than her, although, Cero began to underestimate Jellal by saying he was having a hard time believing that Jellal defeated Hikari. It ticked Jellal off, being underestimated was just unacceptable by anyone's standards. Then the moment arrived, Blaster Dark stormed into battle, and used the skill rarely seen from Jellal, to retire a Snogal and savagely retaliated, getting a critical and evening up the playing field. Jellal viciously rode the cursed dragon: Phantom Blaster and double critted Cero to five damage. Claiming that his knights were upset for being looked down on, Jellal had complete advantage this fight, slowly winning him the game with a final Shadow Erosion. Perhaps this was the first time, he ever felt a positive attachment to the Shadow Paladins he knew weren't his. Either way, there was one more match to be held, he had to win, no matter what.

Game 3, Both fighters started off as per usual, Jellal missing the chain. Cero dealt the first damage to Jellal despite having other able-body attackers to dish out more. Much to his surprise, Jellal deduced that he probably didn't want his rear guard getting killed by Blaster Dark again, which... Jellal didn't have at the time, instead riding Rugos. On grade 3 turn, Jellal switch to a more attrition tactic by riding Dark Metal Dragon and having Gururubau boosting, in addition to his skill, making the twin drive alone to break a 10k shield drop, without triggers. He continued pressuring as Cero gathered more of his allies, especially more Snogals. They were pretty even, throughout most of the fight, however Jellal had a ridiculous hand size, that is until Cero rode Soul Saver Dragon, successfully. Jellal's hand dropped from a good 6 cards of 2 perfect guards, 3 critical triggers, and Rugos to zilch, nada, nothing despite him surviving. Jellal knew he needed two triggers to survive either that or he'd had to have topped another Phantom Blaster Dragon to push for game, which he ran out of. He called the final card, Charon behind his rear guard and attacked, all of them being stopped. Cero quickly finished Jellal off winning the semi-final match. Jellal was shocked and in disbelief that he lost, but thankfully Cero apologized for underestimating him. Hopefully, Jellal would get to face him again to return the favor.

Hana Isabel Espoir vs. Cero Kirguis: National Finals

Both fighters knew each other before this.
Hana had run into Cero a month at the train station during his first visit in Japan where she thought that he was an ill man in need of the hospital. Cero was her first fight during this visit, now she was the one standing in the way of him reaching the top of the Vanguard world.

Hana greeted the crowd and did her usual thing, mahou shoujou transformation, idol mode activate.


The fight reeled off with a strong start for Cero, effortlessly calling out a full field of dogs. Hana was able to guard. Well into the game, Cero rides his ace, Fang of Light, Garmore. On Garmore's attack Cero was able to check a double critical, putting Hana to five damage and in a position where she was forced to guard one more high powered attack. On her turn, she drew Pacifica and rode her avatar. With Pacifica's attack, Cero guard for a two pass. Hana was able to check those triggers, critical trigger and draw trigger, giving all the effects to Pacifica.


For the second game Cero had a much slower start, while Hana was able to pull off combos using her Rock Girls Rio, Wendell, and Tyrhennia's skills. Hana was eventually able to wear Cero down while slowly gaining advantage which let her guard against his attacks. Her victory was sealed when she had checked a heal trigger and critical trigger.


Cero proclaimed that this wasn't the end of his path to glory, that as the King, he will keep on fighting and keep on moving.
Hana proclaimed that the paramedics were on their way to pick him up.
Cero started yelling a lot and the audience became afraid.
The fight ended with fighters shaking hands, and a crowd applauding in respect.

Thus the Vanguard National Tournament had ended.

Hana Isabella Espoir has become the Vanguard National Champion
