Cardfight Vanguard: The Dark Union

Turn 7: Mirror Match Part 1

The sun beamed down on all three of us as we walked down the side trail that lead to Team Destiny's house. Only Skye and Edge wanted to go, the others offered to stay behind to watch the house and promised to meet us at the beach after my match. We all panted as we made our way down the trail, and the change of clothes didn't help much either. We all wore our summer clothes, for Skye it was an ocean blue sundress that had green frills at the bottom, a large, floppy sunhat with a special blue rose pinned into it, and a pair of sandals.

Edge and I wore similar outfits. We both wore tank tops, but his was a dark grey while mine was a light grey, he had on his black jacket but didn't bother to slip his arms in the sleeves or zip it up, and I had on my cloak. Both of our hair was let down from their normal style, and the final things on the list were we both had on shorts that fell past our knees, same color as our tank tops, and sandals.

"I'm starting to regret coming out here now." Edge panted out as he stumbled forward, the heat obviously getting to him. "Well, it's your fault for coming. Just deal with it, we're almost there." I told him as I pointed up the hill, towards their house. Skye nodded and adjusted her bag and pushed her remaining strands of hair behind her face. "I know it's my fault, but why do they have to live this far out?" Edge complained once more as he pulled his hood farther down.

The rest of the walk was rather silent, probably because none of us had anything to say. When we finally reached the top of the hill we took a while to catch our breath, that and I decided to check out their place. It was a nice, single story cabin that looked like it was made of pine wood. It was a decent size for a cabin, bigger than your average suburban house but not by much. They had a nice porch with a simple set of steps leading up to the perfectly crafted door.

"Well, you ready Star?" Edge asked, and I just nodded. We made our way up the steps and I barely got to the door before it was flung open by Catherine. "We've been expecting you guys, but not this early. Still, it's a nice surprise." Catherine moved out of the way and invited us all in, which we graciously took. The first thing we all did when we entered was to take off the additional items we had on, Skye had her hat, Edge his jacket, and my cloak.

"So, are you three ready?" Catherine said as she walked past us and walked over to the end of the hall, awaiting by the door. "What do you mean? I thought this was Star and Zack's fight?" Skye said as she stepped forward first. I thought this would happen, so I packed both of my friends decks. "It is, but we all want to test your abilities. Skye versus me, Star versus Zack, and finally Edge versus Andy."

Skye was about to object but I put a hand on her shoulder, which grabbed her attention, and showed her her deck. "Oh, I see you came prepared." Skye let out a nervous laugh before taking it and turning back towards Catherine. I handed Edge his deck before pulling my own deck out and staring at the top card, the Gurguit I got from Robyn. "Are you three ready? Team Neo Generation versus Team Destiny." We all nodded and entered the main room to meet our opponents.

Once we stepped in I scanned the room over. It was a simple room with a couch to the left of us and a television on the opposite side of the room with a fireplace under it. To our right was a window into the kitchen and dinning room and directly in front of us was another hallway. In the center of the room was three tables already set up, all three of their decks waiting in the correct spots.

I walked over to the middle table where Zack was waiting for me. "Hey there Star, glad to see you could make it." He said with a confident smile and his arms crossed, "I don't turn down a friendly match." I told him before starting to shuffle. "So I heard, you've made quite a name for yourself back in that city of yours. One of few people to rival the Diablo Fighter, Edge Reyuki, himself." Zack said as we all drew our starting hands. I noticed their forerunners were already face up. Catherine had Officer Cadet, Andry, an Aqua Force deck. True to what he said, Zack had Rising Lionet to start off with, although it could be any Gold Paladin to be fair. Finally, to my right was Andy, he had Flutter Deletor Zuiije, Link Joker.
