Vanguard G - KazumaxChrono
The prologue is rather quiet, its entirely set up but I'm hoping it is easy enough to follow for those who have and haven't seen the show, there are quite a few in show references scattered about.
(The rest comes once I've figured out this site.)
“Congratulations Team Striders!!!”
Were the echoed cheers of familiar voices from close friends, former teammates and the ever growing inner circle of people who had some role to play in the bizarre Vanguard abnormalities that occurred; gathering around a platform for a trio who had found themselves being blindingly and unknowingly led by the joint efforts of Mamoru and Jaime. Removing their blind folds, the trio were surprised to see a rather recognisable beach of a now rather familiar luxury resort island with its recognisable party of people.
“You guys planned all this!? You really shouldn’t have...” the red hair was grinning at the sight, his words said one thing but his eyes spoke volumes of how awesome he was finding it all as he looked round at all the familiar faces. “I can’t believe you managed to keep this hidden this whole time!”
“From you Chrono, it isn’t too hard, you are still as dense as they come” his former Try3 team mate teased with a playful smirk as Chrono glared down at Shion, “Kazuma and Taiyou on the other hand, were much tougher to throw off the trail, once they started asking questions.”
Switching his gaze from Shion to the two boys that made up Team Striders, Chrono was greeted by the typical neutral expression he’d come to expect off Kazuma, the boys grey eyes, quickly shifting back over the crowd as he broke eye contact, “in a term you’d understand Swirlyhead, you could be hit with a triple crit and still have the point go over your head” smirked the blue haired boy as he took a quick glance over to watch Chrono struggle to think up a decent come back.
“Ah, Kazuma-san, be nice this is a meant to be a party right?” interjected their youngest member, who had become use to stepping into the pairs conversation before they escalated but in a way they had also become endearing to the younger boy, it was all part of the parcel that made Team Striders so fun, so unique!
“I can see that but what for? What makes winning the Under 20 so special this time? … It isn’t exactly like last time, it was just a… ”
“Let’s not sour the mood; I can understand how this feat may seem less significant but the feat Team Striders achieved at this years Under 20 is one for the record books…” spoke up Mamoru, who once more helped Kouji Ibuki, run the event as his right hand man, if anything while still only being a clan leader the Kagero user was almost acting double duty, often being the Chairman’s go to guy when matters came up or he had any concerns.
“You mean you really don’t know?” questioned the tall boy formerly from Shion’s school, still as quiet and passive sounding as they remembered despite getting Ren Suzagamori’s blessing to keep running the Fukuhara Vanguard club despite having graduated, in his words, it was as good as entrusted to him.
“I’m not surprised, Chrono may be dense but being clueless is a trait shared across all of Team Striders” teased Tokoha as she spun on heel, snapping her fingers towards an older orange haired man who was busy taping away at his screen and, almost as if on Tokoha’s queue of command he flipped the screen over to show the trio on stage what the hype was really all about.
“No way, are you serious…” were the first words to be spoken by Kazuma as they registered the words on screen.
“That’s amazing, Chrono-san! Kazuma-san! Can you believe it!” cheered Taiyou unable to hide his enthusiasm or excitement from this new discovery, this was another feat accomplished all thanks to being a member of Team Striders!
“So…what you’re saying is…were the second team in the history of the Under 20 to successfully defend the title…?” Chrono finally spoke up, his puzzled expression and surprise slowly faded, turning into a huge grin, which Kazuma silently observed from the other side of the stage with a quiet smile of his own. The Swirlyhead’s excitement and enthusiasm was definitely easy to get sucked in to. “Then who was the first?”
“About 8 years ago, a team called Eleforce won two successful Under 20’s in a row but were unable to defend the title for a third time due to the age bracket, with two of its members passing the 20 mark before the next tournament.” Shion explained, as Kazuma watched Taiyou and Chrono listen intently to the supposed perfect prince reel off the information like some online encyclopaedia page.
“If I recall the team was made up of a Bermuda Triangle user, a Neo Nectar Musketeer and a Kagero member” Kazumi spoke up, the older brother of Kazuma being one of the few new faces to join this not so super-secret group.
“How original…”
“Don’t get snippy…but what is it with teams and Kagero members being trump card team mates?” Chrono instantly jumped in as he glanced over at the other boy “I mean, wasn’t the team Kamui was with say that their Kagero user was the go to guy when they needed a win to come back from behind?”
“But Chrono san…I would have said you were our trump card player…”
“And unless there’s something you’re not telling us you’re a Gear Chronicle user and that’s a Dark Zone clan right…”
“O…Of course! No other clan comes close…” stammered Chrono at their teasing but at the same time couldn’t help but smile, after everything they had been through, the times he botched up big time and yet they still had that much faith in him.
“Alright, that’s enough winding each other up and standing around, this is supposed to be a celebration, so let’s get the event started!” butted in Tokoha once more before anything else could be said; it was on the tip of their tongue and the green haired girl could see it clearly. While it was no surprise that the second former Try3 member was getting the ball rolling, after all she was known for her hands on attitude towards festivities and events after helping out at the Dragon Empire branch so much when she was younger. With a quick nod from the trio up top and another loud cheer the party truly begun.
The hours passed quickly, with various games, catch up, food not organised by Jaime but a joint effort between Shion and Ibuki to guarantee it was actually going to be there for once and of course even more card fighting; much to Chrono’s delight, his capacity to enjoy every fight like it was his first time playing was impressive when considering all the titles he had to his name.
“Are you really going to tell them today?” Shion questioned calmly as he drew a card, glancing up at the younger boy, who simply nodded back.
“Hmm…if I don’t do it now, I feel like I’ll bottle it and the next Under 20 will be their last chance to enter, I want to face Chrono on an equal field while I still can…”
“I stride, Aerial Divine Knight Altmile!” Shion started, turning over another Altmile in his G-zone,“ I see, considering everything you’ve said, I think it’s a good idea, I’m certain Chrono and Kazuma will understand.”
“You think so? I don’t want them to think I’m turning my back on the team…”
“When Try3 split up to go their own way, it was strange at first meeting back up as rivals but if we didn’t, I don’t believe any of us would have got to the stage of Vanguard we are all at now!” Tokoha spoke up from the side, having had watched the pair fight from the start, after all Taiyou wanted to run it by both of them first; after himself and Kazuma, the pair that made up the former team Try3 were the ones who knew Chrono best.
“Separating isn’t goodbye you know, you’re still so young Taiyou, branching out is only natural…So, who do you have in mind for your team? You sound like you have at least one team mate in mind already?”
“Yeah, it’s Moriyama Hiroki from school but we haven’t decided on a third yet…” Taiyou nodded back with a confident smile at the two older Cardfighters.
“You mean that boy who worked for Myojin? What a turn of events but in a way very fitting...”
“You think so…?” Taiyou started with a creeping blush, giving people second chances was something Chrono-san would do; if anything it was trait shared across Try3 with Tokoha giving Satoru Enishi a second chance when she invited him onto her team after everything he had done for Myojin. Even Shion had success to an extent with a reformed Rin Hashima after everything that had happened at the United Sanctuary branch; days which Taiyou preferred not to dwell on. Perhaps now it was his turn to offer that same chance as the younger boy smiled contently thinking about it.
“Hiroki has calmed down a lot since then, he pays more attention to people and the things around him, as well as friendlier, and he’s supportive and as determined as ever! It was actually his idea… ”
“Knight of Twin Sword attacks the Vanguard”
“No guard…” Taiyou reluctantly responds after looking at his hand, this was Shion’s fifth attack thanks to that stand trigger and he no longer had the cards left in his hand to defend, betting it all on a potential heal trigger “damage check…heh, looks like this round is yours as well Shion” Taiyou tried to bravely smile back as he placed the sixth damage onto the pile, the younger boy staring at his sixth damage Gurguit, with the defeat only making him more determined than ever despite losing to Shion once again.
“It was another great Cardfight Taiyou, you should be proud of yourself; you’ll do great at the Under 20! I know Henri will be disappointed that you won’t be joining the Fukuhara High team but nothing stops you from entering your own team outside the club.”
“I can’t wait, I’m sure you and your team will easily make the final stage Taiyou!”
“Thank you, it is still early but I… no we’ll do our best for sure and that’s not all, there’s one more thing I need to do before we part ways” Taiyou smiled back up at Shion and Tokoha who simply chuckled knowing exactly what he meant
“Knowing those two, you’ll need all the luck you can get with that” Shion started with a slight shrug,
“We’ll be rooting for you, all of High School and those two still haven’t made a move, just how long are they going to dance around the subject, you boys and your feelings honestly…” Tokoha joked with a heavy sigh and shake of her head, leaving Taiyou and Shion to simply nervously laugh in agreement as the group made their way back to the others.
