As Fonzo and Xavier argued and taunted each other with names, Angie and Piper both stood at another table getting ready.
"You sure you wanna go through with this Angie? Your deck is still running really old cards, don't you wanna wait until GBT-12 comes out? It's in less than 3 weeks" Paul asked. Piper looked with agreement to the question.
Angie looked at both of them with a look of confidence. "You think a few higher generation strides are gonna scare me? I've been playing this game since attacks that were 25,000 were scary. Bring it on."
Piper nodded as she then set her starter. Angie did the same.
"Whenever you're ready." Paul stated, as he was switching back from watching the other game's opening turns.
Both nodded, and placed their decks in position after their redraws. After a moment of staring into each other's eyes they started the chant.
"Stand up, Vanguard!"
"Battle Sister, Waffle!" At the windowsill of a convent, a nun with dual pistols in her hands rested her arms and peered out. She then saw a seed blooming into something new.
"Augury Maiden, Ida!" The seed bloomed in a garden, in sight from the window. It became a bioroid, and the bioroid looked up at the window, and waved. The nun at the window was slightly creeped out, and aimed both of its pistols. The bioroid in response prepared for combat.
"If you're doubting my skills, why don't you let me go first?" Angie asked. Piper nodded in response, and Angie drew a card. "I ride, Battle Sister Syrup!" In place of the previous nun, now a nun aiming with a rifle was perched on the windowsill, while the nun with pistols appeared behind her in the convent's building. "Turn end."
"I draw, and ride Faith Maiden Odette." Now Piper's first ride from her last fight entered the field, with Ida behind her. "And attack!" Piper continued with no haste.
[12,000 VS 7,000]
"No guard!"
"Drive check!"
Drive Check: Agave Knight - Critical Trigger
"Great! All effects going to Odette!"
Odette used its weapon to carry high powered seeds that would travel and break the window, but to no avail. However, Agave Knight appeared and threw its blade at the window, shattering it. It then gave its flower to Odette, who accepted it and used it to bolster its attack, with multiple seeds hitting Syrup.
"A critical… Damage check." Angie did her damage check with a frown.
Damage Check:
First Check: Battle Sister, Vanilla - No Trigger
Second Check: Battle Sister, Madeleine - No Trigger
"Alright! That's the end of my turn." Piper ended her turn with a confident smile.

"Now it's my turn! Draw, and ride Battle Sister, Cocotte!" A boot stepped on the glass and then onto the outer windowsill, as Cocotte stood perched on the edge. "I activate Battle Sister, Waffle's skill. I counterblast, and check the top 3 cards of the deck. I superior call one Battle Sister, and I call Macaron! Additionally, it gets 3,000 power!"
Waffle fired off all her pistols, the recoil making her fall back into the convent, but alerting the entire sisterhood in the building. Another window was shattered as a nun wielding dual pile bunkers emerged and pointed at the Bioroid.
"And I call Syrup!" The same rifle-wielding nun appeared behind Cocotte.
"That Cocotte is gonna hit… regardless. I wanted to avoid that, but now with Syrup…" Piper commentated to herself on Angie's plays.
"And now I'll attack your vanguard!" Angie added as she rested her vanguard column.
[16,000 VS 7,000]
"No guard…" Piper replies.
"Let's check!"
Drive Check: Battle Sister, Tiramisu - Draw Trigger
"Perfect. I draw and give the power to Macaron." Angie increased her hand and power both at once.
Cocotte elegantly leapt off the windowsill and madly gashed with her scythe at the bioroid.
"Let's see what's in the damage zone."
Damage Check: Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha - No Trigger
"And since Cocotte's attack hit, I'll activate her skill! I reveal the top card of the deck, and if it's a Battle Sister, it goes to my hand." Angie performed similar to what was a drive check and revealed Battle Sister, Monaka. "This card to my hand."
In the hallways that could be seen through the windows, a Katana wielding nun was seen running and getting ready.
"Next is Macaron, and with her skill, she gains another 3,000 power!"
[19,000 VS 7,000]
"Another no guard." Piper said slightly annoyed, now with the damage about to be tied.
Macaron fired off one of her pile bunkers which directly exploded on contact with Odette
Damage Check: Agave Knight - Critical Trigger
"A trigger... All effects to vanguard."
"And that's the end of my turn! On to you." Angie confidently said.
"She tied it up… with non-GB skills like those, she increased her advantage too… I have to continue being aggressive though."
"It's my turn. Stand and draw! I ride Osmanthus Maiden, Anelma! And I call another Anelma to the rearguard!" Recovering from the hit now stood a green-clothed bioroid with another one appearing at its side. "And the rearguard Anelma attacks Macaron!"
[9,000 VS 9,000]
"Tiramisu guards!" Angie placed the draw trigger she checked earlier onto the guardian circle
[9,000 VS 14,000 - GUARD SUCCESSFUL]
The Anelma to the left charged the nun on the side, however from another window of the convent a sniper fired, and stopped her charge.
"That's fine, I'll have my vanguard Anelma attack next with a boost from Ida!"
[14,000 VS 9,000]
"I won't guard that attack." Angie responded
"Then here's my drive check!"
Drive Check: Maiden of Zephyranthes - Critical Trigger
"Great! All effects go to my vanguard!"
"She got another one?!"
The vanguard Anelma, who was guided by Ida to the perfect angle for the attack, was then supported by a pink-haired bioroid, and the two crossed their weapons impacting on Cocotte, knocking her back against the convent's wall.
Damage Check:
First Check: Battle Sister, Vanilla - No trigger
Second Check: Battle Sister, Tiramisu - Draw Trigger
"A draw trigger. I'll give the power to the vanguard, and draw." Angie said while letting out a sigh, as she put the fourth card in the damage zone, but becoming a bit more relaxed after drawing the card.
"And I'll end my turn."

"And now it's my turn. Stand and Draw! I ride!"
As Angie declared her ride, Cocotte retreated back into the convent.
"Strongest wielder of the blade! Battle Sister, Monaka!"
From the topmost floor of the convent appeared the Battle Sister that was seen running through the halls earlier. She broke the window and perched on its ledge like the previous sister, and prepared her blade for an Iaido.
"Eh? I knew you had that in your hand, but you don't have your main ride, Madeleine?" Piper curiously asked.
"Maybe you should've looked at the card a bit closer, or at least watch me play a bit more. This card is my go to for emergencies like this! Limit Break!"
Piper caught her mistake and thought about her play in that moment. "I didn't realize… I didn't even know about this card. Goes to show how little a G-Player like me knows."
"I counterblast 1 and discard another copy of Monaka from my hand, and then I can check the top 5 cards of my deck." In response to the limit break declaration, a circle appeared above Monaka, as she said a short prayer.
She checked the top 5, and placed two of them into her hand, and placed the rest at the bottom. A smirk came to her face.
"With the four damage I dealt you...What a perfect timing…" Piper commented Angie's recovery play.
"Well, Karma's gonna be like that to ya. Especially when someone has been sacking crits each drive check." Angie retorted
"I learned from the Master himself." She proudly pointed at Xavier, too focused on his game to notice the finger.
"Well, You're not wrong." Angie replied with a chuckle, before going to begin her aggressive attacks. "Are ya ready?"
Monaka now had her hand on the hilt of her blade, ready to strike at any given moment.
"Let's see what kind of damage an antique like that can do!"
"Syrup boosts, and Monaka attacks the vanguard!"
[18,000 VS 9,000]
"No guard!"
"Let's see what the twin drive holds for us!"
Twin Drive:
First Check: Battle Sister, Chai - Heal Trigger
"That's good. I give the power to Macaron, and recover one damage."
Second Check: Battle Sister, Muffin - Critical Trigger
"And a comeback has been completed. Critical to Monaka, power to Macaron!"
Monaka's speed was at a level that the naked eye couldn't see, and in a blink of an eye she was in front of Anelma, swift in a strike of two blades. As fast as she had appeared, she sheathed her blade and returned to the wall of the convent.
"Double Triggers… Damage check."
Damage Check:
First Check: Sunshine Maiden, Paula - No Trigger
Second Check: Faith Maiden, Odette - No Trigger
Piper made another, small sound of annoyance as she placed the cards in her damage zone.
"And last but not least!" Angie rested Macaron. "Macaron will attack Anelma…"
Piper was about to prepare a no guard, but then realized that she had a card on her rear.
"...on the rearguard!" Angie said as she pointed at it. "And add 3,000 power!"
[22,000 VS 9,000]
"No good… If I guard this I might have trouble guarding later on… But if I take it I can't make offensive comebacks… No choice!"
"Agave Knight! Faith Maiden, Odette!"
[22,000 VS 24,000 - GUARD SUCCESSFUL]
Macaron aimed and fired both of her Pile-Bunkers at the Anelma to the side, her face in pure joy. However, it turned into a sour frown as soon as Agave Knight and Odette knocked away both of the projectiles.
"What a shame… I'll end my turn then." Angie with a small amount of disappointment, being unable to prevent Piper's next turn bloom.
"And now, it's my turn!" Piper drew and looked at that card, a smile on her face as she saw it.
{Insert Track - Miguel's Fight}
"Awaken, Tender and caring maiden! Ride! Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha!"
Anelma rose her rake, summoning a vortex of flower petals to swirl around her. However, as it dispersed, standing in the place of Anelma, was Ahsha.
"Now, Generation Stride!"
[Stride Cost: Cornflower Flower Maiden, Ines]
Riding on her familiar Forest Dragon, Selfina descended, imposing herself on the field. In her hand, her shield and blade, with her blade pointed at the Katana-wielding nun.
"Stride skill, activate!" Piper placed her hand on the Anelma card, and continued her play. "I'll be calling another copy of this card from the deck!" Piper said, quick in grabbing another copy of Anelma from the deck, calling it to an open space in the right column. "Add 2,000 power! Bloom! Add 2,000 to both Anelma units and to the vanguard! The first Anelma gets boost!"
In the garden, a large rose formed. When it bloomed, its petals sagged down to reveal the second Anelma. Both Anelmas crossed their rakes, and energy flowed throughout the garden field.
"Tch, she's already getting those power boosts…" Angie complained to herself.
"Maybe I should have attacked Anelma with the vanguard instead…"
"Next, I move the left Anelma back, I call Sunshine Maiden, Paula! I Then use Ida's skill, and Paula and the back-right Anelma now have the same name!"
A new maiden wielding a large blade joined the rest of the bioroids on the battlefield, before being pulled by Ida, who made both her hand and Anelma's touch.
"A Paula… That's bringing a nasty combo to the table…" Angie thought to herself as she analyzed her hand, wondering how to handle her guards during the turn.
"Next, I activate Selfina's skill! Flipping a copy of herself face up in the G-Zone, I choose one unit…" Piper explained, pointing to the Paula on her field to signal her target. "And I add 2,000 power to it. Then, I can call up to one more Paula from the deck! Superior Call!" She immediately called the card to the open front row on her left. "Bloom! Add 2,000 power to both Paula units, and to the back-right Anelma as well. Additionally, the Anelma gains boost, and Paula gains an on attack skill!"
A second rose appeared on her field, revealing another Paula this time. Now, all 4 of Piper's rearguards crossed their weapons, the energy growing stronger than before.
"When that bloomed Paula attacks…."
"First, I'll attack with the right Paula, boosted by Anelma!"
[24,000 VS 11,000]
"Big numbers and huge attacks alone won't be enough for you to beat me!
Sunrays that shine on the godhawk's wings! Come from the bright future and protect me! Generation Guard! Sunrise-On-High Godhawk, Ichibyoshi! I have 3 or more cards in hand, add 5,000 the shield!"
[24,000 VS 31,000 - GUARD SUCCESSFUL]
The right Paula headed straight for Monaka, and leapt into the air when it felt it would deal the most damage, however, she became distracted by sun rays from above. With the attacker taken off guard, Monaka jumped up and kicked her away.
"Next, I'm coming in for a swing from my vanguard!"
[28,000 VS 11,000]
"I won't guard that!" Angie replied.
"Triple Drive!"
First Check: Cornflower Maiden, Ines - No Trigger
Second Check: Cherry Blossom Blizzard Maiden, Lilga - No Trigger
Third Check: Fairy Light Dragon - Heal Trigger
"Alright! I heal one damage and give the power to Paula!"
Selfina was about to charge into the fray riding her dragon, but as she pointed her blade at Monaka, another smaller dragon appeared for a moment, enveloping both the left Paula and Selfina with a faint green light. With newfound energy, Selfina attacked with a burst of energy from her sword, blasting Monaka into the convent's wall.
"Damage check."
Damage Check: Tetra Magus - No Trigger
"Tch… It's not even a Battle Sister that I can take advantage of with an especial Counterblast... I should be fine though."
"And now, I'll continue with Paula boosted by Anelma! Thanks to the skill she obtained from her bloom, I add 10,000 power!"
[41,000 VS 11,000]
"That's not going to hit. Defend me, Higher Deity Protecting Official, Amatsu-hikone!"
[41,000 VS PERFECT]
An intense flash of light struck from the sky, bringing down one of Oracle Think Tank's officials, who created a protective barrier around the convent, stopping Paula's attack in her tracks.
"What a shame. I'll end my turn there." Piper said, calmly.
"Only one damage dealt to her, even with those numbers… this is not going well."

"And now it's my turn! The reckless wielder of the Elemental Machine Gun! You're staring right down its barrel! I Ride Battle Sister, Madeleine!"
Monaka disappeared from the field, and now on the convent's roof stood a nun armed with an artillery-based weapon, with a dangerous look in her eyes.
"There's your main ride." Piper said with a slight sound of disappointment. "Wish you stayed on that limit break card this whole game."
"You wish! And now, Generation Stride!"
[Stride Cost: Battle Sister, Mille-Feuille]
{Track Insert: Misaki's Fight GZ Ver.}
"Come out! Sister with wings of angels and guns that bring salvation! Excite Battle Sister, Gelato!"
Madeleine shot a barrage in the air, bursting into light. Descending down was a nun with wings on her back and heavy gatling guns floating around her.
"Madeleine's Stride Skill! Gelato obtains a skill! Gelato's skill! Soulblast one, and look at cards from the top of the deck, equal to the current number of my Battle Sister unit. And I have 3 of them on my field!" Angie quickly grabbed the first 3 cards of her deck, and added one to her hand with a smile.
"Gaining advantage like that… Typical of an Oracle Think Tank play." Piper commented to herself as the Battle Sister player continued her plays.
"Then I call Battle Sister, Crepe!" And in an instant the axe-armed nun came to the side of Gelato.
"This just got way more annoying…"
"And, let's battle! With a boost from Syrup and a soulcharge, I'm heading straight for you!" Angie called out to Piper as she rested her vanguard.
[33,000 VS 11,000]
"Bring it on! No guard!"
"Triple drive!"
Triple Drive
First Check: Battle Sister, Berrymousse - No Trigger
Second Check:Battle Sister, Muffin - Critical Trigger
"Critical trigger!" Angie smirked as her plan came into fruition. "All effects to Battle Sister, Macaron."
"To Macaron?!" Piper thought worryingly.
Third Check: Battle Sister, Tiramisu - Draw Trigger
"A draw trigger! Power to Battle Sister, Macaron, and draw!"
"She's trying to force me to guard her Macaron and no guard crepe!" Piper realized.
"I could use Rainbreath now… But I don't have a card to set up with…"
Angie smirked has her strategy fell into place.
Gelato raised her hands, raising all of her gatling guns, and began to open fire on Ahsha, shells hitting the ground in seconds.
"Damage Check."
Damage Check: Sunshine Maiden, Paula - No Trigger
"Continue, Macaron!" [22,000 VS 11,000]
"Tch… I intercept with both Paulas, and then guard with Odette from the hand." Piper placed the following cards to the guard circle.
[22,000 VS 26,000 - GUARD SUCCESSFUL]
"Crepe!" Angie said, resting her last card. "Oracle! Add 2,000 power to Crepe!"
[11,000 VS 11,000]
"No guard." Piper said, giving up on trying to prevent her strategy.
Crepe strutted down to the garden, twirling her naginata so fast that a gust of wind was created, blowing away flowers and leaves. In a blink of an eye, she was in front of Ahsha, slashing down fiercely at her.
"Let's hope I can recover from that one…" Piper said as she checked the damage.
Damage Check: Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha - No Trigger
"And with Crepe's skill, I draw a card." Angie counterblasted, and drew another card. "And at the end of my turn, the oracle ability of Amatsu-Hikone will activate. Counterblast, return it to my hand, then bind a random card face down. Turn end." Angie smirked, having an overwhelming gap between her hand and Piper's.
{Track End}
"Yeesh, 11 cards in her hand… But that won't matter if she can't handle all of my blooms at once! I'll finish it on this turn! Stand and Draw!" Piper drew, while keeping a poker face, she was grateful that she drew into a Noel.
{Insert Track: Tokoha Fight NEXT Ver.}
"Let's end it with Generation Stride!"
[Stride Cost: Cornflower Flower Maiden, Ines]
Piper's familiar stride descended onto the battlefield once more, dust rising as the foot of her dragon landed onto the field. "Selfina! Stride Skill! I superior call Ida! I call Noel! I activate both of the Ida's first skills! Both Anelma's have the same name as Noel!"
All of Piper's rearguards held hands together surrounding Selfina as Piper declared the Ida skills. Then I activate both Ida's skills, and send my 2 Paula's to the bottom of the deck to draw the same number of cards!" The two Idas dug their augurs into the ground, and then disappeared.
" Lastly, the skill of Selfina! I'll Counterblast, and a G-Persona Blast! Two of my rearguards are chosen to gain 2,000 power, and I call cards with the same name as them! 3 Noel, and add one critical to the vanguard! Bloom! The 6 Noels all bloom, and even if called over, will still bloom! The back left Noel and front left Noel receive 12,000 power! The 3 Noels called bloom twice, adding 16,000 to the right column noels, and 8,000 to the back row and to the vanguard! Lastly, both Anelma blooms, and the three called Noels gain 12,000 power! The Anelma called over is retired." Piper slid the grade 2 into the drop zone.
Front Left Noel and Backleft Anelma: 23,000
Front and Back right Noels : 37,000
Back middle Noel: 29,000
Vanguard: 33,000
At this point, Xavier and Fonzo had finished their game, and were surprised at the game they had came to watch. "My, she's gone all out." Xavier said surprised.
Fonzo nudged Xavier a little more. "And with that Selfina you gave her." He said with a smirk on his face, leaning in to tease him some more. Xavier met him with an eye roll and a hard pound on the head.
"Hey! Didn't need to be that hard…" Fonzo said pouting.
"This is where it ends!" Piper proclaimed, as she reached for two cards in her hand. "The backrow Noel abilities." She said as she placed the cards she reached for into the drop zone. "They'll be attacking from the backrow now!" The Noels in the back swayed their garden hoes up into the air.
"Not good… She perfectly set up her field to make it in one go… Even with 11 cards in hand, I don't think I can stop all of those attacks… I just hope this plays out in my favor."
"Selfina attacks the vanguard!" Piper, now riled up exclaimed as she rested the vanguard. "Petal Peace Proclamation!"
[35,000 VS 11,000]
"You know I have this! Amatsu-Hikone!"
Angie had no hesitation in dropping down the card, and then another from her hand.
"Perfect Guard!"
[35,000 VS PERFECT]
"It won't matter! I'll end this here! Triple Drive!"
Triple Drive:
First Check: Cherry Blossom Blizzard Maiden, Lilga - No Trigger
Second Check: Maiden of Zephyranthes - Critical Trigger
"Right there! Critical Trigger! All effects go to the left column Noel!"
"Not Good." "Oh my…" "That's great!" Were the thoughts and responses of her club mates as they saw the critical trigger boost the Noel.
Third Check: Sunshine Maiden, Paula - No Trigger
Selfina let off a blast of petals that flew straight toward Madeleine, however another flash of light occured and Amatsu Hikone appeared to block the attack once again.
"Continue, my left Noel, with a boost from Anelma!"
[51,000 VS 11,000]
"If that attack lands, it's over!" Everyone watched with surprise.
"Not yet! Amatsu-Hikone!" Angie cried out as she placed another copy, then discarding another card.
[51,000 VS PERFECT]
Anelma set herself up as a step for Noel to launch off of, boosting Noel to reach the top of the convent, however, Amatsu-Hikone appeared once again.
"Again?! Tch. I can still do it! Backrow Noel, go!"
[29,000 VS 11,000]
"If I bet on a damage trigger right now… I can save some cards for an oracle stride next turn… But if I guard this, and get one later… it might be a waste. But as long as I have at least 3 cards at the start of my hand, and something to stride with..."
"I'll take it!"
The Noel behind the vanguard took off herself, and reached high enough to hit Madeleine.
Damage Check: Battle Sister, Tiramisu - Draw Trigger
"This is…" "I draw and give all power to Madeleine!"
"A damage trigger?! Tch… Go! Backright Noel!"
[37,000 VS 16,000]
"Generation Guard! O Great CEO, Bask us with your glory once more! Sun Of Eternity Amaterasu! With her effect, Soulcharge, and check the top card." While keeping a poker face, Angie was surprised with what was at the top. "And leave it there." She said calmly. "Finally, add 10,000 to the shield."
[37,000 VS 41,000]
The back right Noel took her turn to get a slash in, however the sun in that moment seemed brighter, and the CEO of the Oracle Think Tank appeared for a moment, blinding her.
"Front right Noel, attack!"
[37,000 VS 16,000]
{Track End}
"No guard." Angie replied.
Everyone was surprised, seeing with the 6 cards in her hand could do her at least something. However, some of the group caught on faster than the others.
The Noel in the front right leaped, and struck, however as she struck, Madeleine smirked,
Damage Check: Battle Sister, Chai - Heal Trigger
"Amaterasu confirmed her a heal trigger, so she didn't need to waste cards." Paul said with his eyes closed, seeing the fate of the game.
"A H-heal trigger… and I put everything on that turn, too." Piper said letting out a sigh. "Ok, turn end.

"Those numbers, Piper. In a normal situation, those would've ended any average game, but I lucked out this time. Let me show you my response! Stand and Draw!"
Angie stared at the card she drew, and broke her poker face, and a worried look grew on piper's face.
"Generation Stride!"
{Insert Track: Misaki's Theme (V)}
"The convent's ace striker! Come, Excite Battle Sister, Miroir!"
A nun's blue dress blew in the wind, and with the reloading of her gun, and the twirl of a sword entered Miroir.
"Miroir's skill! I turn a card in the G-Zone face up, then she acquires 2 skills! One of them has Oracle, so now Miroir is a vanguard with oracle. Additionally, all my Battle Sisters gain 1,000 power for every card in my hand!"
Xavier's eyes widened. "If she's stating that Miroir has Oracle out loud… does she run that card?"
"I call Bell-Ringing Miko, Ouka! And with her skill, she's retired, and if I have a vanguard with Oracle you can't guard Macaron with a Grade 0!"
A Miko appeared behind Macaron, and rang its bell behind her, then disappearing.
"She does…this strategy is reminiscent of Silent Tom's skill." Xavier said with his suspicions confirmed.
"Let's do this! Crepe attacks the vanguard! Oracle!"
[16,000 VS 11,000]
"Noels! Intercept!" Piper slid both of her front row rearguards into the guard circle.
[16,000 VS 21,000 GUARD SUCCESSFUL]
"I'll end this here! Miroir attacks the vanguard!" Angie rested her vanguard.
Miroir fired off a round of shots from her gun toward the dirt near Ahsha, clouding her view.
[38,000 VS 11,000]
"This is bad." Piper said as she hovered around the cards in her hand. "But, this should be enough." She said as she confirmed her guards. "Then again, if she has one more Touka in her deck, this will be the end for me."
"I'm counting on you, Lilga! Your vanguard's attack won't hit me!"
[38,000 VS PERFECT]
"I'm not going to take this lying down! Get ready for my Triple Drive!"
Triple Drive
First Check: Battle Sister, Macaron - No Trigger
Second Check: Battle Sister, Muffin - Critical Trigger
"Critical Trigger! All the effects to Macaron!"
"It's a trigger, yeah. But if she has a heal in her hand, an extra point of damage won't matter"
Piper smirked at the critical trigger, now more confident in her defense than ever.
Yet, in her head she faltered. "If her next check is a … No! I'll win this time!"
"Third Check! It ends with this, Piper!"
Third Check: Bell Ringing Miko, Ouka - Stand Trigger
"Yes! It's a stand trigger! Crepe will be standing, as well as gaining the power!"
Angie said, turning her unit to the stand position with a pleased smirk on her face.
"No! I won't have enough!" Piper's confident smile turning upside down.
Miroir launched with the advantage of the dust blocking her opponent's eyesight.
However, the dust was suddenly blown away by a storm of cherry blossoms, and Lilga holding up a shield of green light preventing Miroir's charge from getting through.
However, Ouka appeared again, this time behind Crepe, ringing her bell once more. To the sound of the melodious noise, Crepe stood up, ready to attack one more time.
"This'll end it! Crepe! Go!"
[25,000 VS 11,000]
The rest of the group was waiting for her response, all their eyes focused on something. Paul with his eyes gazing at the board, Fonzo with his alternating back and forth between Angie and Piper, and Xavier with his closed.
"I…Can't guard." Piper said with a frown as she set her hand down.
Crepe leapt from the convent's window, and with a quick slash of her naginata, Ahsha collapsed.

A/N: Thank you for reading this recent chapter. It has been a while since I've last posted, school really does get in the way of things. While V series is out, and a lot of old units are retrained, I want to finish Darkness of Imagination before I continue onto V-Series. Thank you for understanding, and continuing to read Darkness Of Imagination.
