01x42 - Psyqualia

[bunniefuu]

And then...

N-No way...

That card...?

Yes way, indeed.

A second Pegasus Knight?!

Like I said...

I'm going to beat you with this card.

Why?!

Why can I see him?!

Now, picture this...

You, defeated before an overwhelming power...

Aichi... I was right...

Aichi...

Picture myself losing?!

H-Hey...

Yeah...

He's just like Ren...

Psyqualia

Alfred's Counterblast!

Come, Margal!

Yes! Now the Royal Paladins
are all assembled!

That brings out Alfred's full power!

I attack Black Panther with
Palamedes, boosted by Marron!

I activate Palamedes's skill!

He gets +3000 power!



sh**t... No guard!

Damage trigger check!

Here I go.

I attack Black Panther!

Twin drive...

Yes!

That's 4 damage!

He's caught up!

Then, with a boost from Pegasus Knight...

Gallatin attacks!

Pegasus Knight!

No matter what, I can't let
this attack get through!

I guard with Silence Joker!

My turn is over.

Trying to intimidate me, huh?

I don't know what he intends to
do with that Pegasus Knight...

but if I can end the fight
this turn, it doesn't matter!

His damage is 4...

And my hand is more than up to
the task of dealing out 2 damage.

I'm gonna win... I'm gonna win!

The Great Kyou rides General Seifried!

What, again?!

WA, yo?!

I told you, "the Great rides" is mine!

Enough about that...

I call Highspeed, Brakki!

Mecha Trainer exits the field.

With a boost from as*ault Squad...

Brakki attacks!

Brakki's Soulblast!

I add +5000 to the power of Brakki!

No guard.

Damage trigger check.

He's got 5 damage!

Brother...

After Brakki's Soulblast and
attack, he returns to the deck.

I use as*ault Squad's skill to stand it up.

Now, I'm sure you'll put up useless
resistance to try and stop this being the end, right?

Unfriendly jerk...

I attack with Seifried,
boosted by Dudley Dan!

I activate Seifried's skill!

+3000 power!

And on top of that, Dudley
Dan's Counterblast!

I Superior Call Wonder Boy from my deck!

Seifried...

General Blast!

I guard with Epona and
High Dog Breeder, Akane!

The total is 25000...

Seyfried's power is 17000...

If he draws two triggers in the twin drive...

...his attack will get through.

It could go either way, but how is Aichi
Sendou going to keep what he has in his hand?

Good question.

Kyou still has units standing.

He can't afford to use up all
the cards in his hand here...

It's a tense moment, isn't it?

Oh, indeed it is!

If Aichi can get through this, Kyou
has just one more attack left...

Stay away, trigger!

Drive trigger check!

No trigger!

We're not out of the woods yet...

For General Seifried's drive check,

if a grade 3 Spike Brothers is drawn,

that unit can be called!

Now I can attack twice more!

What's wrong?

So scared you can't even talk?

No, I'm okay.

Please, do your second check.

Fine!

Second check!

He's got two attacks left...

And Aichi has only two cards in his hand...

Whatever you do, please
protect yourself, Brother!

My attack will soon put
you out of your misery!

Here I go!

I'll start with my Sky Diver on the right!

He attacks with a boost from Wonder Boy!

I guard with Elaine!

So you had a card you could use, huh?!

But what about your last card?

This time, the Sky Diver on my left!

He attacks with a boost from as*ault Squad!

I guard with Pongal!

That's not enough to protect
against this attack!

Not only that, you've used up your hand!

Gallatin! Come forward!

Intercept?!

He did it!

He protected himself!

You did it, Brother!

Rats!

I've attacked four times
but only done 1 damage?!

He doesn't have a unit in the front row...

That means, on his next turn...

he'll bring that Pegasus Knight forward?!

Is your turn over?

Y-Yeah...

In that case...

Final Turn!

W-What?!

Brother said...

"Final Turn"?!

This has gotten interesting!

That boy...

"Final Turn", you say?!

You trying to make a fool out of me?!

I don't have to try.

You already are one.

Messing with me?!

H-Hey... Isn't that...

Yeah. He's in trouble.

That's exactly what Ren would do.

I move Pegasus Knight...

and then call Marron to the open spot!

I activate Margal's skill!

By moving Margal to the Soul,

I give Pegasus Knight +3000 power!

Then, through Pegasus Knight's own skill,

he gains another +3000 power!

Blast it!

He's making a fool out of me!

Is he really gonna win this
fight with that card?!

I attack Seifried with a boost from Marron!

Wait a second!

I thought you were gonna finish
me off with Pegasus Knight?

I still have only 4 damage.

If your attack succeeds,
that puts me at 5 damage.

Are you going to guard? Or not?

No guard!

Damage trigger check!

I got a draw trigger!

I add +5000 to the power of Seifried!

And then I draw!

All right!

Now I've got two perfect defenses!

Sorry to spoil the much-anticipated Pegasus
Knight attack, but I see what's going to happen.

Let me make a prediction now:

You're not gonna win!

It's just as I told you.
This is the Final Turn.

Here I go!

I guard with Cheer Girl, Tiara!

Twin drive...

Got it! Stand trigger!

What?!

Pegasus Knight stands.

And I add +5000 to his power!

I-It can't be...

Hey! That's...

Seriously, the same as Ren?!

Next.

I attack with Swordsman of the expl*sive
Flames, Palamedes, boosted by Marron!

During an attack, Flame Swordsman can use
his own ability to increase his power by +3000!

His power is 21000?!

I've gotta do it...

I put one card from my hand into the Drop
Zone! Marilyn gives me perfect defense!

It seems Pegasus Knight is ready...

Now, picture this...

You, sprawling on the ground
of the planet Cray...

W-Where am I?!

What is this?!

That power...

There's no mistaking it.

Psyqualia...

Hey! What's going on?!

A-Anyway, it went just like Aichi said!

Aichi...

P-Pegasus Knight!

I-I don't have a hand!

I can't guard...

It's... It's not over!

My revenge won't end here!

I can't let it end!

If I can just draw a heal trigger here...!

I don't... believe it...

What the heck is this?

What's his name again? Aichi Sendou...?

I lost...

Kyou!

What's wrong?!

Hey! Kyou!

Hey!

Pull yourself together!

Aichi... Is that really Aichi?

Th-The winner is Aichi Sendou from Team Q4!

I won, Kai.

Aichi!

Aichi!

Are you all right, Brother?!

Y-Yeah...

Huh? That's strange...

Huh?

I can hardly believe it! That boy?

It was no coincidence that he came to Psy.

Right. That was fate.

Huh? You look kind of happy about it, Kourin.

W-What?! I'm allowed to be pleased when a
person with the power is found, aren't I?

Hmm... Is that really all there is to it?

Of course!

Wow, what a surprise!

Aichi Sendou of Team Q4 is
both a prophet and a fighter!

Just like in a professional shogi
players' championship series...

Mmm, I'd love to try a fight where I
could read my opponent's next two moves.

It certainly was a wonderful fight!

Of course... My fights are number one...

What the heck happened out there?!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Sounds like Misaki's fight has started...

Yep...

But more importantly, Aichi, are you okay?

You don't need to worry about me.

Putting me in this infirmary
was overreacting.

Aichi, today, you...

You were scary.

Really? I was just fighting like normal...

Sorry... I'm going to get a drink.

Sure...

Scary?

What does she mean?

Hey, so what about this girl?
She's pretty impressive, right?

True. She does have an amazing memory.

And she's been using that ability
more often in her fights.

Yeah, right?!

Then...

No.

I can't sense the Psyqualia from her.

I had my hopes up, but...

It's too bad.

sh**t. Oh, well...

At least we've found one more today.

Exactly.

The winner is Misaki Tokura from Team Q4!

What are those voices?

Tokura won.

Kai!

Then we won, right?!

Yeah...

I see. We...

Kai!

What?

I've gotten stronger, haven't I?

Since meeting you again
and starting Vanguard,

I've had all kinds of fights.

But I've never felt it like I did today...

That I'm strong...

No, Aichi Sendou.

You've become weaker.

Everyone in Team Q4,

congratulations!

Banzai!

You did it!

Here.

Darn it... Can't count on anyone...

What do we do now?

Is this the end of our revenge?

What are you blabbering about?!

This isn't the only regional tournament!

All we have to do is win another tournament,
and then we can go to nationals!

And then I'll get my revenge!

Against Ren Suzugamori! And Toshiki
Kai! And Aichi Sendou, too!

Dude...

There's just no way...

What a poor sport.

Who are you people?!

Brilliant Stars!

What are you doing here?!

We heard a rumor that a pathetic
loser was scheming something.

And so we came to put an end to it.

You three should've just quietly disappeared.

Only beautiful things
can exist in this world.

Kai...

What did you just say?

You've gotten weaker.

Why?!

I beat that Kyou guy!

But you...

You tell me...

If that's what you think, then fight me!

I'll make you understand
just how strong I've gotten!

What's wrong?

Are you afraid of losing to me?

Miss Emi?!

What are you doing here?

Aichi...

I can't fight you.

See you.

Hey, Kai!

I'm dropping out of Team Q4.

What?! What are you talking about?!

Did I make...

the same mistake?!

Kai...

Here, take this.

Imagining things will become your power!

Yeah, that card is yours after all.

Thank you...

Why...?

So we made it past the preliminaries
without any trouble, huh?

I caused the team a lot of problems last
time, so now I've gotta do my best!

But what's with Kai, saying he's dropping
out of the team after all this?!

Kai, why?

We're strong even without that guy,

so it's absolutely no problem!

Right...

Next time: The Black Vanguard!

We've gotten stronger.

The images become power
and well up within me!

Ren... and me?
