Aichi

I never thought that I would see Min and Kai again. I never wanted them to see me like this.  Gaillard quickly apologizes for his actions of bringing them to the Moon Place. 

"I'm so sorry, Aichi. It seems like they were pretty consistent of finding you and they made it this far. " He said. 

The moment I saw Min's eyes, there was something different about her. It's full of determination, as if she knew what the stakes were be. 

Did she already knew about the Seed?

She walks up towards me , as she raises her deck of Royal Paladins. 

"Aichi Sendou, I challenge you to a Cardfight. I wanted to fight you seriously, and this time I'm not going to make things lightly." 

Ratie seems to be in total shock of her, as she asks, "Is she seriously asking to challenge Aichi, just like that?"   

Kai sighs, "She's been like this from the minute she realizes Aichi had the Seed. She's really mad at him. 

Let her Cardfight , you guys. I mean, she really wants to prove to him how strong she became , and she upgrade her Royal Paladin deck with help from our mates. " 

Min continues to stare at me, wondering if I would accept her challenge. 

"Fine. Let's get this over with." I said.

Min

The moment I saw Aichi awoken, I made a vow to myself that I would save him this time, just like he did for Kai when he was Reversed. 

"Aichi, I remember that day you went to challenged Kai when he was reversed. In that moment, I was scared. 

Scared that I would lose both of you in the process. I want to play Vanguard with you more than anything. 

Without you , it wouldn't be the same. "  I thought. 

As the match begins, Aichi seems unphase of how my personality had changed. 

"Stand up, Vanguard!" 

"I ride! Barcgal! " 

"I ride! Star-Vader, Weiss Soldat! " 

I thought, "He's using Link Joker deck, just like Kai once use. I know this Cardfight wouldn't be easy one, but in the same time, I'm going to give everything I got. 

It's all thanks to Kai, his movation keeps me going. "

Aichi explains, "Star-Vader is a unit that has 5000 power, and has one Critical. Weiss attack the Vanguard!" 

As the unit comes, I said, "No guard." 

I groaned, but stand strong. 

"Aichi! You really don't get it yet? You were the one I look up to, " I said as I pulled out a rear guard, " You helped me become the person I become , standing before you. " 

"Silence! You really think you have changed?!? Ever since the Invasion, I was alone, and you didn't bother to help! 

You just stand there as I battled Kai on my own! What kind of a friend does that!" 

"I guard! Aichi, I'm so sorry you feel that way, but it's about time I show you how much I changed.

I stand and draw! " 

That was when I knew.  My eyes glowed with the power of Psyqualia. 

"No way." Aichi said, "Min, you... you have Psyqualia?" 

Naoki

I'm totally confuse. How does Min have Psyqualia?

"She finally unleashed her Psyqualia huh?" Kai chuckles at her. 

"You knew she has it all this time and bother not to tell us?" I demanded. Min said, "I'm sorry that I didn't bother to tell you that, Naoki. In truth, I had it ever since we began looking for Aichi in the first place. 

I was in Planet Cray, and someone gave me a new unit." That was when she was so determined. 

"Now! Seek the Mate! Legion!"

Weiss has a new ally. 

"Change of fate , guide me, and gave me strength! Arise! 

The Princess of the Holy Sanctuary,  The Royal Paladins, Blaster Girl!" 

"Did she just say, "Blaster Girl?!? It looks like Blaster Blade!" 

Aichi said, "So, a girl version of Blaster Blade? I can summon Blaster Blade but he's not Blaster Blade anymore. 

It's Blaster Joker!"

Min seems to be frustrated, but I yelled out to her, "Min, you can do this! Show Aichi how we feel with your Vanguard! " 

"Naoki." Min said, amazed and I pulled up a thumbs up to reassure her that she's not alone. 

"Blader Girl's ability is activated! She gains 500 points as well as going to critical without any cost. " 

"Amazing. Truly amazing!" Ratie exclaims. 

"And another thing , she allows me to use Legion one more time on this turn!" 

"She can use Legion again! She's serious about this Cardfight. I'm in the edge of my seat here!" I said, feeling the pressure. 

"Yeah, don't forget, Aichi taught Min how to play when we were Team Q4. This match is between mentor and student." Kai explains.

"Aichi, if this was the other way around, I want you to be my Quatre Knight. Would you accept?" Min ask .

The moment in Aichi changed when she ask him about it. "Min, no! You can't! " 

Min smiled. "There is the Aichi I remember. You were always concerned about others instead of yourself. 

The Aichi I know wouldn't let a thing like Link Joker's Seed stopped believing in himself.

The strength to move forward... that is what kept me going! 

Seek the Mate! Legion!" 

"H-Her Second Legion! She's insane!" I said, but Kai said, "Nothing is impossible. I knew from the start of the match. Min's the real deal. " 

Leon said , proudly, "It's Min's Will. The Wind has guided her to this crucial point in her life. Let's see if it finally pays off." 

Min 

I couldn't bear it any longer. "Aichi! No matter what , you're coming with us! You're our Vanguard, our mate! 

Surely , that even if you bear the Seed of Link Joker, we can share the burden together!" I yelled at the Cardfighter, turning Blaster Girl's Unit card, "Blaster Girl comes at ya!" 

Aichi flinches as she attacks. As the attack landed, I knew that the match is tough than I anticipated. 

"You can't share the Seed! It's not possible! " Aichi insisted.

"Yes, it can. With the help of our mates and our Avatars. Blaster Blade told me so when he attacked me on that last turn." 

Aichi's eyes widen with surprise as I remembered what Blaster Blade has told me. 

"Our blade can cut through anything." Blaster Blade said.  

"Even though Blaster Blade was contained through Link Joker's evil presence, he was still able to tell me a message. 

Don't you see? Aichi, you're not alone. 

Come back home, and wake up from this horrible nightmare! 

Seek the Mate! I call Legion once more!" I yelled as the entire group was stunned of me. 

"Min's third Legion mate?!? " Naoki asked, sweating and amazed. 

Kai smiled , "It seems that the bond between Min and her units is unbreakable. That is what make this miracle happen. Her feelings for winning the match is not just to prove Aichi, but it is also her feelings for her mates as well. 

Min grew strong , and I am very proud of her. " 

As I watch Blaster Girl , I thought all the mates we left behind. Miwa, Misaki, and Kamui. They risked their lives and their memories to help me get through to Aichi. 

"Aichi! " I yelled to the Cardfighter, "You're our mate forever! I know that you think it's impossible , but in the same time, Cray is taking Link Joker as an ally, asking to live in peace. That is what I feel right now." 

"No way. It's impossible." Aichi said , totally in disbelief of what I said, but Ratie smiles at him and said, "Aichi, that's not impossible at all! 

Cray is an amazing place to be, and you know it! Min has a point on all of this. I thought about you all this time while you're sealed. You're more than my mate, Aichi Sendou. You're... like family." 

I turn to the others, "Let me ask all of you this. Do any of you accept a piece of the Seed to ease Aichi's pain?" 

Naoki chuckles, "Do you really have to ask that? Of course! I really want to, and Aichi's the best mate I ever had. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't enjoy playing Vanguard and being a member of the Cardfight Club! " 

Neve said, "Aichi is the most respectful person that everyone looks up to. Of course I would take the risk." 

Ratie nods, "I agree. He sees the goodness in everyone, no matter who it is." 

Kai looks at Aichi, "I admire you , Aichi. Always have been." 

Gaillard bows, "It would be an honor." 

Aichi's eyes forming into tears as I said, "Don't you finally see? Everyone is willing to take your Seed as part of their own. Even though the ones who weren't here. Miwa, Misaki, and Kamui. They would say the same thing. 

What about you, Kourin? Do you feel the same way as the rest of us?"     

She remains silent, as she knew I was right. 

I knew that I have to get Aichi to see how Vanguard can be fun again, but can I really make that an reality?
