Vanguard : Finding a Friend

Chapter 3: Reuniting Q4 back together!

Naoki

I still couldn't believe that I didn't remember Aichi! It makes me so angry with myself, but it does bring a lot of questions in my mind as Mai and Kai were in the shop, hoping to spot an familiar face. 

"Do you think she is here, Kai? I mean it's a total gamble and it's not going to be entirely easy to make everyone remember Aichi." Mai asks him. 

"She's in here , I know she is. Besides , I know that she would continue playing Vanguard even though her memories were erased of Aichi." 

I ask, "What you guys talking about, is it someone we suppose to get to solve this mystery of Aichi's disappearance?"

"Yeah, we're getting Team Q4 back together again! I am so excited for this." Min said, which the name is unfamiliar to me. 

"Uh, What's Team Q4?" I asked which gave Min an surprise expression on her face. 

"Where had you been, living in a rock? Everyone knows exactly who they are! I can't believe you never heard of Team Q4.

They are unbeatable! Toshiki Kai, Kamui Katsuragi, Aichi Sendou, and Misaki Tokura. Remember how I told you that they won the championship?  They're the most popular Japan team in Vanguard history!"

I was stunned with the revelation. It seems like Kai and Aichi do know each other as long they remembered, and it seems like Kai was accepting him as a mate, a friend. 

"Oh, so , you're hoping to regain their memories of Aichi, is that your idea? I don't know if it would work , but how would they be now? 

I mean , they could be anywhere!" 

"Stand up , my Vanguard!" 

Min grins, "Yep, that's Misaki. How we going to get her to help us?"

"Leave it to me." Kai said, which cause both of us to look totally confused of how Kai would actually get Misaki's attention. 

"Hey, Misaki. How about a Cardfight with me next?" He said as we were stunned. 

"Whoa, Misaki vs. Kai? This would be interesting and quite remarkable. I seen those two in Team Q4, but I never seen them face one other in a battle before. " Min said, completely mesmerized.

Min

Whoa. I never thought of reuniting Q4 would take drastic measures. Although, I realize that the way that Namoki can remember Aichi through playing a match of Cardfight, maybe it would help Misaki and Kamui get their memories back!

I said, "I'll be the judge of this match, if that's all right with you, Kai."

He just nods, confirming that it is all right.

"Stand up, my Vanguard!" They said in unison.  

Naoki stands with me, "So, a match between former teammates. Would this help Misaki remember Aichi?"

I said, looking at the both of my mates, "To be totally honest , Naoki, I'm not so sure. " 

Kai said, "I ride, Little Sage, Marron!" 

Misaki got a new deck which was a total surprise to me. 

"Is something wrong?" Naoki asks.

"Well, last time I seen Misaki, she uses Oracle Time Temple. It was her ace deck. I wonder why she isn't using it anymore." 

Kai said, "It's time for a new power, the one who would show me the way, the light shines within my heart, 

Seek the Mate! Legion!" 

Naoki and I were amazed of this new power. "Legion, what's that?" 

"It allows me to summon one unit and summon Blaster Blade to from my deck to my hand! I ride! "  Kai exclaims as Naoki and I looked closer on the battlefield. 

"Two units in the Vanguard circle?!? That's Legion?!? " Naoki said, totally disbelief of Kai's new power. 

"Remember , Misaki! Remember your first Vanguard! " Kai declares with determination. 

Misaki

I was mesmerized of the power of Kai. The power of Legion. 

My mind filled with clear memories of Aichi... the way he smiles, his determination in Vanguard, our team, Team Q4. 

"Aichi... Sendou." I said, which I saw two people who was beaming with happiness. 

"All right, she said, " Aichi!" That mean she remembers!" 

The match ended as I was frustrated with my memories of Aichi being erased. 

"Misaki?" Kai ask curiously as I look serious at the group. "Kai, what's going on? " 

He said, "I don't know, but at least you got your memories of Aichi back, that is what it counts." 

The girl next to him sigh with relief, "You really got me on the edge of my seat, Kai. I known that you were an amazing Cardfighter, but I never thought of you battling Misaki like that. " 

"C'mon , Min, you have to know that everything has turn out all right in the end! Besides we have Misaki to join us on our quest to find Aichi." Naomi declares.

Min seems a little bit grateful , but still felt angry with herself. As if losing the person she cares the most is harder on her.

"I just can't believe I forgotten about Aichi like that. Does this mean we're the only ones who remember everything that happened?"

"It appears that way for now. But I am positive that we're getting a lot of new mates along the way." Kai reassures me.

"No matter what stands my way, I'm going to find Aichi, wherever he is and bring him home!" Naomi declares .

"Same goes for me, I want Aichi back more than anything, and I have some things I want to say to him personally." Min said, making a fist pump as a promise.

It felt good of remembering Aichi.

Hopefully that we would find the answers we seek.  

Namoki and Kai already left the shop, but Min stayed.

She sat on the edge of the bench as she looks at the distance, and I knew whom she was thinking. 

"Hey, Min, right? You're thinking about Aichi , aren't you?" I ask which makes the girl be embarrassed of it. 

Min said, "Yeah, kind of. In some way, Aichi is some sort of an older brother figure. I looked up to him even when things go south for me. 

Kai and Aichi were the best friends I ever had. I just can't figure out why he disappear like that. For us, I think it's time for us to find the other member of Team Q4. " 

"Kamui. Do you think his memories of Aichi is erased too? " I asked. 

Min said, "Maybe, but playing Vanguard might snap him out of it. Kamui and Aichi were always close. They act like brothers, for crying out loud! 

If anyone who wanted to find Aichi Sendou , it's Kamui. "
