"Stand and draw. It's finally crystal clear to me, Taira Ansei." Arcand said.

"What? That you'd lose?" Taira asked in reply.

"No. That we aren't so different from each other, but are very different too. I ran away from becoming France's pride, but that was one thing that happened. You ran away from becoming the protag slayer you claim to be and keep running away from that, always using doing what's best for your school as an excuse."

Taira grit his teeth. "And what makes us different, then?"

"I ran away because I wasn't ready to become France's pride. I wasn't ready to have my country look up to me as a hero and then be ready to be destroyed by it if I failed just one bit. I wanted to go big, be a champion in my own right, but without knowing it, I was walking into a trap of becoming a scapegoat. So I ran away and joined the Arcana so that one day, I can become France's pride without carrying the whole country on my shoulders. You, on the other hand, didn't ran away for a noble reason, you ran away because you were and still are afraid to lose and you use doing what's best for your school as an excuse because you're a coward! And in this turn, I'm going to beat that lesson into your head. Funny friendly french guy time is over. Break down whatever and everything that is in your path, no such thing as an unbreakable target exists! The ultimate fighting force of the striker who's raw horsepower is unlimited! I ride the vanguard! La mégaforce qui écrase les os, my avatar, Deadheat Bullspike! (13000)" Arcand's vanguard circle exploded silver. "Taira Ansei, this is the end!"

"Break down whatever and everything that is in your path, no such thing as an unbreakable target exists! The ultimate fighting force of the striker who's raw horsepower is unlimited! I ride the vanguard! La mégaforce qui écrase les os, my avatar, Deadheat Bullspike! (13000)" Arcand's vanguard circle exploded silver. "Taira Ansei, this is the end! Imaginary Gift, Force II! I'll put it on my vanguard! (13000) At the start of my main phase, Brakki and Boy's skill activate! I slide them into the soul and call new copies from the deck, boosting skills and all! (8000>>13000) (10000>>20000) I also throw down a Garry Gannon! (8000) Boosted by Wonder Boy, Deadheat Bullspike attacks the vanguard! (13000>>26000/2) Volcano Hot Smashing Impulse!"

Taira grit his teeth, looking at his hand cards. "You have a pretty big mouth for someone who doesn't know what he's talking about! Paschal, complete guard!"

"Oh? Because you're someone to talk! Dallas, has he done anything other than calling me out on the white flag thing?" Arcand asked, looking over at Dallas who shook his head.

"I dun' want none of this, Arcand." Dallas said.

"We're both quitters, aren't we? My point is that I did what I did for a reason, you did what you did for being a coward. Twin drive! (Cheer Girl, Tiara - Heal) A heal trigger! I give everything to Spike Bouncer! (10000>>20000) (General Seifried) Deadheat Bullspike's skill! When the attack of my unit on a circle with a Force marker fails, I can draw one card. Then, Galleass retires! Now boosted by Gyro Slinger, Brakki attacks! Deadheat's skill, I soulblast one pass Brakki the marker! (20000>>28000)"
