Chapter 1: The turning point
"We've been searching for the apostle we've been searching for them in their hideout." Ibuki explained as the screen shows kai and the otgers looking for the apostles in different places.
"But from what we know and reports this could be..." He continued
"This could be a diversal strategy to make us lose track and they can capture chrono..." Aichi continued
Chrono just looked serious but Aichi reassured him
"Don't worry it would be for a while but we can't let you on your own it would be playing in opponents favor..."
"it's gone now but..." Chrono said as he remembers that the sign on his hands was already at full from relics
"We saw it too" Taiyo said
"it was all gastille's doing..." Kazuma added
"if we can protect you and send the others back to cray then..." Ibuki said seriously
"it would be their loss..." Kazuma added
"Don't worry it would be all settled..." Aichi said as he reassured them
Later that day Kazuma and Kasumi meet up together
"So Kazuma what do you want me here?" Kazumi asked
"Just a talk..." Kazuma said seriously
"I also owe him kazuma" Kazumi sighed
"I won't let them get to him..." He added as Kazuma seems to look at the river
"it was all thanks to him i got to feel this sensation the sensation of mever giving up in vanguard i won't be able to face you off without him and yet i can't do anything" Kazuma sighed
"Kazuma" Kazumi said
"Why did he have to become the vessel of gyze?" Kazuma said seriously
"I swear i'll protect him..." Kazumi smiled
Meanwhile Chrono is arranging the boxes in the store room
"I just can't do nothing at a time like this especially" Chrono sighed as he look back and saw Gyze and it was that same feeling again as his hands glowed and it was glowing all of a sudden he was transported back to a kind of image and it was the relics
"This is?!" Chrono said as he saw Gyze in front of him not talking but it was like the continuation of last time
"Do you yearn for nothingness?" Gyze then spoke
"Nothingness?" Chrono asked
"one will fall and one will be the savior. Singularity will you make the right choice?" Gyze asked as he shows him a vision
"This is..." As the vision ended he was back into his body
"What was that?" Chrono looked again at his hands but this time the sign disappeared
"that sign appeared again without relics what is going on?" He thought but then he heard that taiyou is coming in
After a while Kazuma also comes in after Chrono tidy up the place
"ah you've come too Kazuma" Chrono said
"Yeah and i brought him..." Kazuma said as Kazumi comes in and a swarm of players comes in and greet him
"Onimaru Kazumi-san?" Chrono said when Kazuma thought of a boddyguard he wasn't letting this on him
"I just wanna fight... without any disturbance and the world at stake but that would be a bit hard... i was hoping for no bodyguard..." Chrono smiled as he saw kazumi with kazuma and taiyo
"Well when that time comes i'm gonna win and also this is for your own good..." Kazuma sighed
"Say that to yourself you're the one that needed more guarding than i am..." Chrono said
Later Taiyo and Kazuma is eating at ajante a restaurant that sells curry and they eat together
"i'm a bit frustrated but we were both in relics but why only chrono?" Taiyo sighed as he wants to help chrono but he can't
"i was also thinking the same thing. the importanr thing is that we beat them right?" Kazuma said as they both finish up and try finding the apostles
Back with Chrono
"Don't try to burden yourself..." Kazumi looked at chrono who seriously looked at his deck
"Kazumi-san what if i say that what you should be worrying right now isn't me but... Kazuma..." Chrono said
"What are you talking about?" Kazumi asked
"I can't explain right now... but i need to go..." Chrono said
"Wait i should go with you..." Kazumi said
"then who is gonna look after the shop?" Chrono asked
"but i'm your bodyguard and kazuma entrusted me to protect you." Kazumi said
"i just don't want kazuma to do something stupid again... he is in the relics so anyone of us would be a vessel to Gyze..." Chrono said seriously
"Hmm since you've said it seriously... gibe me your apron get your jacket and leave i'm not doing this for you... i know i'll break my promise but just go before i changed my mind..." Kazumi said as he is gonna regret the decision and chrono left as he got a calm from Ibuki after wearing his jackets
"chrono where are you?" Ibuki asked
"I'm gonna settle this at once and for all if i have too..." Chrono answered the call
"Where is kazumi?" Ibuki asked
"He is holding my shift." Chrono said as he hung up
"He is still stubborn..." Ibuki said seriously as he was with the others
"He kinda reminding me a bit of kai-kun juat a bit... he must have a reason..." Aichi said calming ibuki off
"I hope so i'm just afraid of what's to come..." Ibuki sighed
"If he wins then it won't be a problem" Aichi said
"but if he loses... then..." Ibuki said seriously
In the place where chaos breaker / Noa is waiting
"will they take the bait or..." Noa said as he still waiting but then to his surprise the first to come there is none other than chrono
"That was sure a tricky road..." Chrono said
"i thought that we should lure you but it seems that we don't have to neat for me then..." Noa said
"I'm gonna beat you and take him back i'll mske sure of it..." Chrono said seriously
"You're welcome to try Shindou Chrono but this will all end in tragedy for you all that it will lead is despair..." Noa said while smiling wickedly
"let's begin..." Noa said as they started their fight
"stand up Z Vanguard!" Both of them opens their starting vanguard
"Star Vader Plank Dracokid (G: 0 P: 4000)
"Chrono Dran G ( G: 0 P: 4000)"
Meanwhile Kazumi contacted Kazuma and Taiyo as Taiyo can't contact chrono
"why brother?" Kazuma asked as he pick up the phone
"sorry i wasn't able to stop him from going..." Kazumi said
"You mean chrono is now?" Kazuma asked
"Yeah... he is probably fighting the apostle right now..." Kazumi said
"He is... i told him to not do anything stupid but..." He thought
"Kazuma he said something about you are more endangered..." Kazumi said
"What?! he say that?" Kazuma asked
Back with the fight Chrono
(L: Chronoclaw Monkey C: Chronojet Dragon G BL: none R: none BC: Chronodran G)
(L: C:Star Vader, Chaos Breaker Close BL: Heliopause dragon BC: Planc DracokidBR: R: )
"Hmm your fighting isn't as impressive as before i thought you are going to defeat me Shindou Chrono..." Noa said as he smiled
"Let's just get into it." Chrono said
"Hmm he is one of the highest vessel but he is also a bit of somewhat a moron at this point huh..." Darkface(Wakamizu) said
" But this is sweeter since we don't have to do more work..." Valeos(Ruga) said
"what a boomer... then stride the generation. Star Vader Chaos universe Althani (G: 4 Att: 26000 crit: 1)" He strides when his turns come and using closers skill he locked chrono dran and then when he uses althlani skill he lock chronoclaw monkey and draw 2 cards while using plank skill he retire the card and adds another close to his hands while heliopause gains power that boost it to 12000 power and he called strange dragon (G: 2 attack: 9000 crit: 1)
"This formation of attack..." Chrono said as he saw the same vision
"In his next turn he will use Zeroth Dragon... i must end this on my next turn" He thought to himself
"From your face ah it seems that Gyze foretell my action by just a bit it is just my hypothesis..." Noa smiled as he continued the attack
"Foretell the future?" Chrono asked
"Yeah he wants to give you a chance or so... but let's just see..." Noa smiled as he drive checks 2 triggers one is a heal, one is a crit and the third one os a grade 1 sentinel
"Next one..." He uses his left rearguard to attack but chrono protects himself using chronovalley rabbit
"Strange attack..." Noa uses this opportunity but chrono drops a heal trigger and uses Reactoactive time uluru (shield: 15000)
activate shield +5000" Chrono said as he looks desperate
(chrono: damage: 4)
(Noa: damage: 4)
(L: Chronoclaw Monkey(Lock) C: Chronojet Dragon G BL: none R: none BC: Chronodran G(Lock))
(L: Star Vader, : C:Star Vader, Chaos Breaker Close BL: Heliopause dragon BC: BR: R: Strange Dragon)
"Draw..." Chrono saw what he draws and it was the fateful draw
"This is win it or break it... By discarding the same card cost as my vanguard i'm putting my future on the line my g zone won't come back
"You're not using what i think he is using?!" Wakamizu is surprised at this and both him and Ruga jumps in
"Using that power might be in odds of your power shindou chrono..." Ruga said
"This fight isn't over yet but he is desperate... that is what i like to see..." Noa said slyly
"Dark Branch Zeroth Dragon! Ultima-!" Chrono wanted to do an ultimate stride but an image of dran is trying to stop him
"is this okay chrono?" Chrono dran said in a last attempt to snap chrono but it seems to fail
"Keep Quiet! I don't want him to sacrifice himself just for my sake Ultimate Stride! Dark Branch Zeroth Dragon, Dust! (G: 4 att: 36000 crit: 1) chronojet G skill i call on Lugal Ure then dust skill counterblast 2 then all of your units goes to power 1 amd grade 1 the loses all of tgeir abbility and you gain 1 damage..." Chrono said as he uses the zeroth dragon
"Heh... but sadly it's a heal trigger..." Noa smiled as he heals a damage
"Lugal ure attack his left rearguard..." Chrono said as he attacks
"Now dust attacks your vanguard!" He shouted
"Perfect Guard..." Noa uses one of his old cards sentinel to perfect guard
"Not yet triple drive first check heal trigger all effect to vanguard second check draw trigger all effect to vanguard third check a grade 3 zodiac time beast lugal ure skill i time leap him into chrono jet dragon G!" Chrono shouted as the attack hits only putting noa at 5 damage
"Since this is your last futile attempt i'm gonna let you see him right now let's image.." Noa smiled slyly as chrono saw an image that felt real and it's the real noa
"Noa!" Chrono shouted
"Chrono-san? what are you doing here?" Noa asked
"I'm here to save you!" Chrono said
"interesting kuhahaha! saving him you couldn't even save yourself..." Chaos Breaker laughed
"That's enough of the show.. time to get real..." The jester dragon sighed as he returns chrono back to reality
"Now it's my turn right? i'll just give you your hope then now i'm gonna crush it..." Chaos Breaker said
"what have i?" Chrono said as he saw his g-zone burning
"this is wonderful you've played yourself by using dust then i'll do myself a favor of bringing your hope to an end singularity by discarding the same cost as my vanguard now devour my future and make this spectaculer feast a despair one i'll present you with what you desire gyze and an ultimate vessel for yourself devour my future and manifest Star Gate's Zeroth Dragon ultimate stride! Zeroth Dragon of Drestroy Star, Stark (G: 4 Pow: 36000 crit: 1)" Noa laughed maniacly
"I can't stop it... i'm sorry everyone..." Chrono said as he saw his hand cards
"There is a multitude of warrior such as yourself singularity that stood before me with full of hope but i destroyed them all and close skil.." Noa said seriously as Chrono puts one of his hand cards to the rearguard zone
"Iron call and lock lugal ure..." He continued as iron attacks the vanguard but chrono guard with his hand
"Stark attack and his skill... drive -2 and he can attack three times" He continued the attack as the first hits getting chrono to 5 damage but the second attack he dodge it with a perfect guard the first of stark chexk was a draw trigger the second check was critical trigger and as for the third attack
"This is what he was warning me..." Chrono saw the attack
"ah... this is so boring... but seeing your despair face it's kinda cute..." Noa said
"It's my lost..."Chrono said as he accepted his lost
"That expression is priceless" Noa smirked and checks the thord check and it was a no trigger but chrono still lost due to his damage check reveals chronojet G
"I lost..." Chrono said as he knows what to come next
"The world shall be silent!" Noa uses the zeroth dragon power and it causes an abnormality in energy around them even the sub data fron the relic was now going to chrono as meanwhile chris saw the abnormality of energy from the base while the others like taiyou and Kazuma saw the scene from a far even kazumi too
"i don't want you to be it then it would be for nothing and after all i don't want this power in the first place..." Chrono said as he saw Gyze right in front of him taking over his body
With Kazuma
"What is going on here?" Kazuma saw Stark and the energy force field and headed there along with taiyou as they both nodded as they went there both of them can get in oddly enough
"the fight is over i think..." Taiyo said while behind them kazumi is following them but he can't get in as both of them inside saw chrono who just looks at the sky
"Chrono are you?!" Kazuma said as he wanted to get closer but taiyo hold him off
"Wait Kazuma... something is weird..." Taiyo said as he looked at Chrono's hand and they were shocked
"The moon looks great isn't it... Kazuma. and Taiyou?" Chrono first looked at the moon and then looked at both of them with a smile
