Shika was looking for quests in the FiCa board.
"Nope... Too hard... Too easy... Not even points to grab... Screw you Wyvon, no I will not have a beer party with you! And why is it even there? Hmm..." He scanned the board. "What is this one?"

Ayato Korastacker | 20 | Yesterday, 1:08am
Hay , come down to Dark Zone and fight me
I wanna beat someone , or find someone who can beat me , make sure to bring someone else XD

"20 points just to fight a guy? Even better, Ayato! And even better, I could visit my Spike Brother's home! And even, even better, look for signs hes part of-" Shika exclaimed loudly as he realised that people watched him. "What? None of your business! Shoo! Shoo!" He signalled them to go away with his hands, flicking them forwards and back.

(Insert theme song here)

"Now who am I gonna take?" Shika asked himself, thinking. "Wyvon is defo not going, Rino is God knows where, Ryu is out of town, Ayaza is... What is he doing? Backlion... Flirting... Zeon... Not gonna bother... Rukia... Hey, shes not doing anything!" He cheered, getting his rectangular phone and calling Rukia. Beeps could be heard. "Please pick up..."
"Hi! You've managed to call me at a bad time," Rukia's voicemail said. "I can't answer you straight away, but leave a message after the beep! Sorry!" Then a beep could be heard. Shika ended the call and sighed. "Who else... Kaiko... Nah, he wouldn't go out of his way to do a quest with me... Serena and Sanda are out of the question... Tsundere and Dax are also... Huh, that leaves me with Yza." He called him. Beeps could be heard.

Yza picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Hey Shika," He said.
"Bro, meet me at Dark Zone," Shika said.
"Why?" Yza asked.
"Its a surprise," Shika said again.
"Fine... Only because I want a break from homework." Yza replied.
"Sweeeet!" Shika cheered. "See ya there!"

With that, Shika ran to Dark Zone.

At the Dark Zone, Yza stood there, drinking a can of diet coke, waiting for Shika.
"Where is he?" He asked himself, moving the can in his hand a bit. Meanwhile, Shika sneaked from around the corner and did a scream like an animatronic from FNAF.
"GRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The high pitched shriek came from Shika.
"BULLSHIT!!" Yza exclaimed as he turned and threw coke at Shika, as he was then drenched in the liquid.
"Hi..." Shika laughed as he shook his body to get the coke off.
"Oh, its you..." Yza sighed as he held his heart. "Don't scare me like that again." He warned Shika.
"I wont." Shika replied. "For now..." He said after, an eery tone in his voice.
"Could you stop fooling and start telling me why I'm here?!" Yza screamed. He was getting impatient from Shika's idoticness.
"We're gonna fight Ayato." He smirked. Yza raised a brow.
"Is that so?"
Shika nodded. "We can get some answers, seeing as he IS a suspect."
"Maybe you aren't an idiot." Yza smiled as he walked inside the dark castle.

Ayato tapped his foot and had music blasting into his ear. His black rabbit mask was on and his hood was down, showing off his dark blue hair.
"Sticking needles into skin, sharp end and another grin..." He sang along. Shika appeared infront of Ayato.
"Hey bro, lets go!" He grinned. Ayato looked up and said,
"So your Shika Akia?" He asked. Shika nodded. "What are those, pigtails?" Ayato asked, pointing at his bangs.
"Hey!!" Snapped Shika. He went red. "They are not pigtails, they're called a fashion statment!"
"Your fashion statement is as bad as your breath... What do you eat, dirt?" Ayato said sarcastically. Shika got angry.
"No, I eat your moms pussy," Shika fired back.
"Atleast I have a mom..." Ayato replied.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" He screamed.
"Called comebacks, get some," Ayato said. Yza appeared behind the angered Shika,
"Shots fired!!" He cooed.
"Hey!!" Shika exclaimed.
"This is karma bro!!" Yza teased.
"Cause karma has no deadline..." Ayato sang.
"Emo freak..." Shika spat. Ayato looked at Shika and glared.
"Jigoku de yaku." He said simply. Shika rolled his eyes and handed out his FiCa to him. Ayato took the pen of his FiCa and signed it. "I hope you like mazes." He ran into the maze.
"Aw c'mon!!" Shika moaned as he followed foot.
"Hey!!!" Yza exclaimed, following after Shika. The entrances closed, meaning they were locked in the stone walled maze.
"Bullshit!!" Shika spat as he ran.
"Hey!" Yza grabbed Shika's jacket. "Don't go running off without a plan!!"
"Thats what I do best..." Shika gave a smile and slipped his arms out of the sleeves, and ran off, leaving Yza with his camo jacket.
"YOU IDIOT!!!" Yza's voice echoed through the maze.

Shika ran, smirking. "Today, is the day where I do something!!" He smiled.

Meanwhile, Yza put his hand on the stone cold wall.
"The trick to escaping the maze is to hold on the right side." He grinned as he walked and traced his hand on the wall. "This is creeping me out..."

"Ayato come out you pussy!!" Shika cried as he already gotten himself lost and in a dead end. "ARE YOU TOO SCARED TO FACE PIGTAILS, HUH?!"

"He really is an idiot..." Ayato sweatdropped as he watched from a tower.
"Nah, hes just disabled." Said another voice.
"Agreed." Ayato agreed with the voice.
"To be fair he is dyslexic." The voice commented.
"Jigoku de yaku..." Ayato snapped at the voice. "See the Devil in I..." He began to sing.

Yza continued to walk, and as he got further through the maze, it only got darker and eerier. "Bullshit..." He whimpered, hugging the right wall now. Then, something jumped out of the shadows...

"The doors I go inside, I don't know where they take me," Shika sang, to try and keep his spirits up. "And deep inside my pride, my darkest memories hide..."

Yza looked at the figure that jumped at him, he was scared as hell and stepped back.

"I'm trying not to worry, and only look to foward," Shika continued to sing as he started to pick up the pace. "But I know all this could be changing in a moment..."

Ayato continued to look. "Looks like Yza managed to run into a trap..."
"Good for him," The voice started to laugh.

"No matter the place that I'll be, they'll look for me..." Shika continued to sing as he ran foward. "So, tell me now, what is that you see?"

Yza saw the figure, he was a fighter. "Wanna proceed pretty boy? Fight me first!!" He cackled.
"I'M NOT SCARED OF A JUMPSCARE LIKE YOU!!" Yza screamed as he threw down his FiCa.

"When you look at me?" Shika continued, luckily missing the madness that Yza faced. "And if I can be better than I am, if I still can change?"

"Ride, Dudley Jessica!" The person Yza faced laughed. "Attack!!" He commanded.

Shika stopped singing suddenly as he felt something creep behind him. His instincts made him shoot foward and RKO the poor person, knocking him out.
"Sometimes I don't understand, why I feel so divided..." He continued sing as he knocked them out, Ayato's eyes twitching slightly.

"Did... Did he just knock out a twenty year old?" He said in disbelief.

"I need to become stronger, make your sacrifice worth it," Shika said as he walked, a scatter of cards and fighters behind him. "And I refuse to let, the destiny take my choice..." He said as he found another dead end and started punching the cold stone wall.

"Attack and finish the game!!" Yza commanded, the large green dragon stabbing the white haired girl in a pink battlesuit.
"Damage check... (Dudley Dan) No trigger..." He groaned as he slipped to the ground.
"Shit! That took longer then I thought..." He packed his stuff up and ran to recover time.

"Cause I've grown up already, I'm longer not just a boy," Shika said as he mamaged to crack the wall slightly. "Yes." He fistbumped.

"Jesus, makes me think he has strength like us..." Ayato said, intrigued.
"Maybe he would want a beatstick like him to join the ranks?" The voice suggested.
"We'd have to ask him..." Ayato said. "And I can't be assed to visit him..."

"No matter the place that I'll be, they'll look for me..." Shika said as he broke down the wall and tumbled into Yza, slamming him against the grey wall that surronded them.
"Shika!!" Said a surprised Yza.
"C'mon! Lets find Ayato!" Shika commanded as he got off Yza's stomach and continued to run, a bit dizzily. Yza nodded and got up, following after the silver haired boy. "So, tell me now what is that you see?"

"Their gonna make it there soon... Get ready to crush some pigtails and Stardust Knights," Ayato said to the voice. He clicked his fingers Kaneki style and smirked.
"Yeah, yeah..." Said the voice, walking down the stairs. Ayato skydived off the tower.

"I see Ayato flying!!" Yza cried. Shika looked at the skydiving daredevil as he jumped and held the maze wall as he landed, barely hanging on. He pulled himself up as Ayato landed on the ground gracefully, Shika standing on the wall.
"When you look at me?" Shika continued to sing, getting exicted and jumping from wall to wall. Yza stopped and looked at the jumping Shika.
"DUDE, WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Yza exclaimed as he continued to run.

"And if I can be better than I am, if I still can change?" Shika continued to sing as he neared Ayato. "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!" He cried as he landed infront of him, snarling.
"You actually made it," Ayato said.
"Yeah, I'm here to kick your ass!!" Shika exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Yza was battling someone else.
"I gotta get there fast, lets beat him this turn!" Yza exclaimed as he strode.

"So did your friend make it?" Ayato asked. Shika shrugged his shoulders.
"No idea."
"Thats a shame, because I wanted to do a tag fight..." Ayato said dissapointed.
"Who would be your partner then?" Shika asked. Zeon appeared.
"Yo," He smiled.
"Seems that you made it." Ayato said. Zeon nodded.
"Yep, took me a bit, but well worth it!" He grinned further.
"Wipe that smile off your face, it sickens me..." Ayato commanded him. Zeon licked his lips and put a hand on Ayato's shoulder.
"Oh, so you want me to go crazy?" Zeon whispered into Ayato's ear.
"If you want." Ayato replied. "It'll be more interesting that way."
"Mmm, I see..." Zeon smiled and licked his lips again. "I guess its time to give an old fashioned beating..." He smiled to Shika, who stepped back.
"Somethings off with Zeon..." Shika concluded. Yza clambered over the stone wall.
"That was like escaping a zombie apocalypse!" He panted, standing up straight.
"Now that everyone is here, lets start the match." Ayato said as four pearly white towers appeared before the fighters. He put down his deck onto the pillar and Zeon followed suit. Shika looked at Yza, and Yza nodded as he put down his deck. Shika pulled out his deck and placed it down, as a bright light flashed before them and the GIRS were active.

Soon, surronding them, was what seemed to be Cray. Darkness surronded them, and they were inside a stadium, as the lights flickered on and what everyone was standing on seemed to be a rugby field.
"What the-?!" Shika was in shock.
"Wow, Spike Brother stadium..." Zeon said in awe as five cards were presented to the boys.
"Huh, this is interesting." Yza commented as he got ready.
"I hope you enjoy your stay here, because this'll be enjoyable for us to watch..." Ayato smirked as he put on black fingerless gloves with a red gem in the middle, and silver linings. He threw a pair of purple ones to Zeon, dark green to Shika and blue to Yza. They put on their gloves, Shika pulling back at the end and snapping it back, smirking, as Yza pulled down his for good measure. They hovered their fingers over the face down cards and exclaimed,
"STAND UP (THE!) VANGUARD!!"
"Fullbau "Diablo"!" Yza exclaimed, vanguard circle expanding purple.
"Lizard Soldier, Saishin!" Ayato shouted, vanguard circle expanding orange-red.
"Mecha Trainer!" Shika declared, vanguard circle expanding dark green.
"Amon's Follower, Barmaid Grace!" Zeon smirked, vanguard circle expanding black-purple.
"I'll start us off! Stand and draw! Ride Dark Heart, pull back Diablo and end!" Yza exclaimed.

"Finally, things can get interesting..." Zeon said with a twisted smile. "I ride Dimension Creeper and pull back Barmaid... Then Creeper attacks!! (7000)"
"No guard!" Shika replied.
"Trigger check! (Amon's Follower, Grausam) Perfect, a critical!!" Zeon cackled.
"Damn, he's got the advantage already..." Yza commented.
"All effects to vanguard... (7000 > 12000/1★ > 2★)" Zeon said.
"Damage check! (Wink-killer Misery, Kiss-mark, Alma) No triggers..." Shika sighed. Then a sudden pain hit him. "GRAAAAH!!" He screeched, dropping to his knees.
"Shika!" Yza exclaimed in worry. Shika was shaking in his boots.
"W-what was that..." He groaned, Yza looked at Ayato for some answers as Zeon licked his lips again and had a twisted smile on his face.
"Oh, was that critical too much for your poor body to handle?" Zeon teased Shika as he grabbed him by his hair and forced him to look at him.
"What did you do?!" Shika cried in pain.
"These gloves give you damage equal to how much pain your vanguard suffered in Cray." Ayato explained. "I thought this would spice up the match, seeing as Zeon loves it and our enemies hate it."
"So its a punishment huh?" Yza started to laugh. "I nearly bled to death, so this'll be a walk in the park!!" He smirked.
"Whatever... Turn end." Zeon said simply.

"Stand and draw! I ride Macha and attack! (14000)" Yza declared.
"I guard with Grausam! (8000 > 18000)" Zeon exclaimed.
"Oh?" Ayato raised a brow. "One trigger pass."
"Trigger check! (Howl Owl) Sweet, I pulled one! Draw and power to van! (14000 > 19000)" Yza cheered.
"Damage check, (Brightlance Dragoon) no trigger there." Ayato said, dissapointed. He was then hit with pain, but withstood it.
"Then I'll end." Yza replied, disgusted at Ayato and Zeon.

"Stand and draw. I ride Thunderstorm and call Chatura. Chatura, with a boost, attacks! (11000 > 16000)" Ayato declared.
"No guard!" Yza said bravely. "Damage check, (Dark Saga Painter) no trigger..." Yza said as he was shocked, but barely fazed by it. "This is nothing compared to what I had to go through against Kyle!!"
"Little brat actually took it... Skill, counterblast, draw. Then, vanguard! (10000)" Ayato declared.
"Guard with Howl Owl! (9000 > 14000)" Yza exclaimed.
"And guard with Frog Raider! (14000 > 19000)" Shika said.
"Taking measures... Drive check! (Dragonic Kaiser Crimson) No trigger." Ayato said. "Your turn."

"Stand and draw! I ride Heave Wheeze, and attack!" Shika declared.
"No guard," Zeon challenged him.
"Trigger check! (Exceptional Expertise, Rising Nova) No trigger..." Shika said dissapointed.
"Damage check! (Amon's Follower, Ron Geenlin)" Zeon said calmly. He was shocked, but it didn't affect him as much. "Weak and pathetic..." Zeon grinned through gritted teeth.
"I end..." Shika said aggressively as he didn't like Zeon's attitude.

"My go. Stand and draw! I ride Hell's Nail and Draw. Draw's skill allows me to soulcharge! (Dimension Creeper) Then I'll use Barmaid's skill, counterblast and rest it, soulcharge two and my vanguard gets a new skill! (Amon's Follower, Grausam, Amon's Follower, Hell's Deal) Next I use Grausam's skill, counterblast an Amon to rid of your Trainer!" Zeon cackled. Shika placed the card into the drop zone unwillingly. "Next I use Dimension Creepers skill to soulblast it and soulcharge! (Dark Knight of Nightmareland, Amon's Follower, Ron Geenlin, Amon's Follower, Hell's Trick, Killing Dollmaster) Then I call Devil Child! My vanguard's new skill allows it to get 1000 power for every card in soul." He smirked.
"Thank God your souls aren't shared..." Shika sighed.
"Actually, we play tag by our rules." Ayato smirked.
"What?" Shika asked him.
"Souls, hand, calling, G zone, everything it shared. And when one person reaches grade 3, we can all stride, legion and stuff like that." Ayato smirked even more.
"No way..." Shika said, taken back.
"Thats cheating!!" Yza cried.
"No, we're just playing tag our style." Zeon smirked. "Vanguard is meant to be fun right? Your Shadow Paladin can always target Shika's rear-guards, and when both of you are searching your deck for units to call, you can let your friend search instead."
"If I was playing Dark Irregulars right now!" Ayato bursted into laughter.
"Oh my God, your so right!!" Zeon joined his laughter. Yza gripped his fist and looked at Shika. He had some sweat run down his cheek.
"Since the soul is shared, and Shika will have such a tiny hand when he starts to wombo combo, he's gonna have a hard time defending Zeon's 55k plus attacks... And then theres Ayato, where he'll mow down my targets and gain power boosts... And with my horrific guarding, well... We're screwed." Yza thought as he tightened his fist.
"BRING IT!!" Shika suddenly cried. The laughing of the two boys stopped as Zeon smirked. (9000 > 16000)
"Then, with a boost from Devil Child, the vanguard attacks. (16000 > 26000)" Zeon smirked evilly.
"Its as strong as an unboosted G Unit..." Shika gritted his teeth. "No guard!!"

================================

A/N
Tag my school's style XD
Zeon and Ayato have the advantage, but I have a feeling that Yza and Shika can pull through! So, did you also like the reincarnation of the Fight Gloves? Pain inflicting little things, Shika is fucked XD

Thats all, Fox out!
