Inu walked down the hallways with hands shoved into his leather jacket as his younger brother walked up to him.
"You lost huh." Neko said simply.
"What else do you think..." Inu muttered. "I'm an idiot, so me being into the top 32 was good enough, I already knew that I was gonna lose first round."
"Yeah, but you..." Neko started the stopped. Inu walked past him and turned his head to look at his brother and shouted angrily,
"I'm not like you, I'll NEVER be like you!!" He turned his head back biting his lower lip and holding back his tears. "That was just a lie... And you knew it." He thought as Inu walked away.

(Insert theme song here)

"So far out of four crazy matches, we had Dax Heatwave, Zak Remashita, Kazue Yaiba and Backlion Demiza have won their matches!" The announcer exclaimed. "Who will join these four?! Find out in our next match, because in the blue corner, we have a mesmerizing young lady with a bright smile, its Sakura Kimura!"
A girl with soft pink hair in two pigtails, tied by green ribbon came out, she wore a simple white button up shirt and grey skirt, blue light following her. "Hello everyone!" She smiled.
"And in the red corner, her deck can literally turn the most overpowered and whelming forces into nothing but weaklings!! Its Rachel Mikushicha!" The announcer exclaimed.
Rachel shot out, red light following her. "I've been waiting for this!!"
"Nice to meet you Rachel, but I'm gonna win!" Sakura smiled some more.
"You may have won first time round, but I'm gonna win now!" Rachel smirked.
"We'll see about that!" Sakura shouted.
"Stand up (the!) Vanguard!!" Rachel and Sakura exclaimed.

Maxios was in his seat, eating a bag of buttered popcorn and drinking a cup of coke through a straw as he had a clear blue cap which was just a band and the bit that shielded your eyes from the sun on his head. "Next turn things'll become interesting, but I think Rachel can pull through." He threw some popcorn in his mouth and ate it.

"Stand and draw! Bring us all together in one big harmony, I ride my avatar, Miracle Voice, Lauris!" Sakura exclaimed, vanguard circle expanding ocean blue.

On Cray, in the glimmering water appeared a mermaid wearing a blazer and white button up shirt with a green bow tie and short orange hair. Fianna looked at the mermaid appearing out of the water.
"Huh, so this is our enemy..." She muttered.

"Stand and draw! Liberating the Generation Zone!! A beautiful voice resonates the battlefield as the match begins to come to an end! Generation Stride!!" Sakura exclaimed. "Celebrate Voice, Lauris!!" The vanguard circle expanded ocean blue.

As Lauris became engulfed in blue light, she was now in a popstar's outfit, blue and orange. She held a microphone in her hand and began to sing.

"Stand and draw! Prepare to see what the world truly holds for you... Legion, Seek Mate!! Witch of Reality, Femme!!" Rachel declared. She shuffled back four cards, and her vanguard circle expanded violet, and the Legion symbol appeared between the two cards. "I activate Fianna's skill! Counterblast 2 and your front two rear-guards become grade 0's once you check the top ten cards of your deck!"
"I came prepared!" Sakura giggled and pointed at Emilia. "She has Resist."
"Then Sedna." Rachel replied.

"Stand and draw... This is... The Final Turn." Rachel said, confidence resonating from her voice. "Liberating the Generation Zone!! A shattered and forgotten soul, rise with your dark blade!

"Emilia, guard! (11000 > 16000)" Sakura exclaimed.
"Vanguard attack~ Skill, retire all my rear-guards~ Retire two to guard~" Rachel giggled. (36000, 2★)
"I can do that!" Sakura said with pride as she realised Emilia had Resist. "N-no..."
"Thats right everyone, when paying the cost to be able to guard from hand for Phantom Blaster's attack, Resist units cannot be targeted!!" The announcer exclaimed.
"This is-o-so bad for Sakura." Proffessor O said.
"Grr..." Sakura gritted her teeth.
"I've won~" Rachel cooed.
"Oh no you haven't, double Generation Guard!! Two Sailor's Medley, Nasha! Skill, reveal Lauris and Liddy from hand and since I have a same grade as it on my field, i.e, Lauris, add 5000 shield! (11000 > 51000)" Sakura exclaimed in desperation.

(41000 > 46000) Last check~ (Witch of Black Cats, Milcra) Heal trigger~ Healing one and power to vanguard. (46000 > 51000)" Rachel giggled.
"She pulled it! Three triggers!" The Announcer exclaimed.
"Sakura's only hope now is to get a Heal trigger! This is-o-so exicting!!" Proffessor O exclaimed.
"I just need a heal trigger... C'mon..." Sakura gritted her teeth. "Raa! (Magical Charge, Vita, Image Master, Kukuri) ...I lost." She sighed and laughed.
"And there you have it folks, Rachel Mikushicha has won!!" The announcer exclaimed.
"That was a fun warm up~" Rachel smirked as she walked away.

"I guess its time to visit her." Maxios laughed and got out of his seat to find Rachel.

Wyvon and Rino walked down the hallway Rachel came through in.
"I can't believe my sis won!!" Wyvon cheered.
"That Resist backfired on Sakura pretty badly." Rino laughed.
"Of course it did." Wyvon nodded. A brown haired boy wearing a black shirt with a white skull on it with a crack on the top with blue jeans and black converses strolled down the same hallway, only walking the opposite direction of the two boys. As they passed, Wyvon felt a shiver shoot down his spine as the boy looked at Wyvon with cold brown eyes and interest in Rino.
"Hey, weeaboo. Earth to weeaboo!" Rino snapped at Wyvon, who looked at him. "You don't space out often."
"Oh, gomen Rino-san, I just thought I saw an old friend of mine..." Wyvon said.

The boy that walked past them said, "Wyvon... Our paths cross once more."
