"Now that our lunch break is over, lets head onto the next couple of matches! Lets start off with the blue corner, a girl with a strong ambition to win, a girl who controls the tide of the game, a girl who is basically the moon, Riku Aksan!" The announcer exclaimed. Coming out of the hallway was a girl with long red hair that reached down to halfway down her back, sharp blue eyes, cream jumper, black skirt and black pumps as she walked down the hallway with a victorious smirk as a blue light followed her.
"Its time to crush Mai~" She cooed.
"In the red corner, its a girl with alot of coldness, a girl who uses knights of the sun, a girl whose way short for her age, its Mai Heatwave!!" The announcer exclaimed as Mai walked out, throwing her shoe at the commentator for calling her short.
"No one talk about my height..." She said, a dark aura surronding her.
"Nice to meet you Mai." Riku smiled.
"Same to you." She replied bluntly.
"Let this match start!!" The announcer exclaimed.

"Stand and draw." Mai picked up the top card of her deck. "Golden rays of the sun, cleanse the darkness in this world with your blade! I ride my avatar, Sunrise Ray Knight, Gurguit!" Mai exclaimed, vanguard circle expanding gold with streaks of blue.

A knight clad in golden and blue armour and wielding a large gold blade appeared, hair a burgundy and eyes a shining yellow.
"This... Is... The... Power of the sun!!" Gurguit cried out as he was engulfed in golden light.

"Generation Stride, Golden Dragon, Scourge Point Dragon! Stride skill, counterblast. Superior call Henrinus, add 2000 power. (9000 > 11000) Skill of Scourge Point, add 5000 power to it and Henrinus.

"Things do NOT look good for Riku, shes on five damage before she even had a chance to stride!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Stand and draw. Liberating the Generation Zone!! The ruler of naval battles, the commander of the troops of the Wave, Stride the Generation!! Storm Dominator, Commander Thavas!!" Riku exclaimed, vanguard circle expanding dark dark ocean blue.

As Thavas was engulfed in a dark dark blue light, came out was a neon green sword that pierced the light, and two blue seahorses, that a now more experienced and older Thavas rode on, as they charged into battle against Gurguit.

"Stride skill, add a new skill. Call Adelaide and use skill. Counterblast, soulblast, when placed on rear circle, if I have a vanguard with Thavas' in its card name, add 2000 power and a new skill.

"Then the vanguard attacks! Then Thavas' skill! Wave 4th time! Choose up to three! And you retire one! (26000 > 31000)" Riku exclaimed.
"Its Aqua Force's Wave! Activated when the specific attack timing is reached!" The announcer exclaimed.
"Either way I only can choose one, so you wasted resources for no apparent reason." Mai sighed as she got rid of her last unit. "Candace perfect guards."
"Eh, it was just a G Persona Blast. Then, Triple Drive!! (Officer Cadet, Alekbors, Kelpie Rider, Nikki, Kelpie Rider, Petros) Stand trigger. Stand Adelaide and add 5000 power!

"You can do it Mai!!" Dax called out from the stands. "Win it so we can both advance!"

"Stand and draw..." Mai drew a card and closed her eyes, before opening them, amber eyes full of confidence and ambition to win. "Liberating... The Generation Zone!! Dragon of Gold that wields the Glorious Blade, cut down a path to my victory... Generation Stride." The vanguard circle expanded gold with blue streaks. "Golden Dragon, Glourious Reigning Dragon! Stride skill. Checking top four cards of deck. Call, Henrinus. Skill, counterblast and soulblast. Check top three. Call Marcia, add 3000 power. (9000 > 12000) (8000 > 11000) Marcia attacks!

"Call, Henrinus, Pwyll, Jeffrey, Gorboduc and Gerrie. Since three or more units were called, countercharge and soulcharge one." Mai said simply.
"Plato, perfect guard! Skill, countercharge." Riku gritted her teeth.
"Triple Drive. (Sunrise Ray Knight, Gurguit, Curable Angel, Holy Mage, Candace) Heal trigger. All effects to Henrinus and healing a damage. (9000 > 14000) Henrinus, attack with a boost from Jeffrey. (14000 > 21000)" Mai declared.

"Skill of Jeffrey, into soul and draw a card. Pwyll, her last card in hand is a grade 3. Finish her. (9000 > 16000)" Mai said coldly as Riku sighed.
"Your right... I can't guard. Damage check. (One Who Surpasses the Storm, Thavas) No trigger." Riku laughed it off.
"And in that intense battle, Mai Heatwave has come out on top!!" The announcer exclaimed as the stadium broke into cheers and clapping as Dax shouted,
"Good work sis!!"
Mai smirked and packed up her cards. "I didn't even have to use Gurguit."
"Good game Mai." Riku held out a hand to her shorter opponent.
"Good game Riku." She shook the hand hardly.

"Gold Paladin is dominating this tournament, all three players have actually made it through!!" Ayaza exclaimed.
"You gotta face her next round." Ryu laughed as he elbowed Yza.
