Dream Sequence: 

I was running as fast my legs can carry me. "Aichi!" I yelled, trying to get closer to my best friend as he was away from me. 

"You would never find me, Naomi. You have leave me alone. " The blue-haired Cardfighter said as an darkness was consuming me. 

"Aichi! I will find you, I promise!" I said. 

Ow! I fell off the stool I was in, as I was in the Cardfighting Club room, rubbing my butt.

I got up, as I looked around the room, as I sigh in total relief.

"That was all a dream? Why it felt so real? " I said to myself.  

I opened the door to reveal an old friendly face, Shingo Komoi, the member of the Cardfighting Club!

I remember his passion for Cardfight, and he admires Aichi, although, I was stunned to see him.

"Hey! What you doing in here?!?" He said, as he pulls up his glasses. I rubbed my head, as I don't know how to explain to him that Aichi isn't here in this reality, and maybe I can ask him to man the fort until Kai, Min, Misaki, Kamui and I find him.

"This Physics lab used to be a special place for me, and it brings me a lot of thought here and felt at ease." I explain.

"Oh, I see." He said, as I ask, "Can I ask you a favor? "

"Sure, what is it?" He asks curiously. "Can you make sure no one comes here? It is something very important and I need someone to keep it as a secret , can I count on you?"

"You're asking me to do this? Why you want this room to be a secret?"

"Well, it is personal reasons. " I replied.  

Shingo seem curious but nods, "All right. I think I can trust you." 

Kai

I walk through the hallways of the school. It still makes me wonder where Aichi could be. Min has a point. 

It's not like Aichi to disappear like that, and she seems pretty mad of Aichi though. I remember one thing about her, is that don't make her mad. 

"Hey, Kai!" I turned around to see Miwa Taishi, one of my friends beside Min.

"Miwa. " I said, seem to be surprised.

Although in this reality, I find out that Aichi's Cardfight Club doesn't exist, like it was erased from existence, just like everyone who was closest to me that their memories of Aichi was erased.

"Kai, is something bothering you? I know you do have something in your mind and tries to act cool.

Tell me what's going on."  

I sigh, "Do you know about Aichi Sendou?" 

He said, seems to be unfamiliar of the name, "Aichi Sendou? Sorry, I don't recall anyone by that name. " 

I thought maybe having a Cardfight would help regain his memories, just like Misaki and Naoki. Their memories triggered in the most intense battle. 

He can help, because deep down, he is my mate, my friend to me and Aichi.

"Miwa, I challenge you to a Cardfight, for old times sake. Then you can see why I'm so uptight right now." 

We stand in front of each other. 

"Stand up, my Vanguard!" We yelled in unison as the game begins. 

Min

I walk inside Kai's Vanguard fighting club, but I noticed he wasn't there. 

"Where did Kai gone off to? Is he doing a Cardfight?" I thought as I notice Naomi and Misaki. 

"Misaki, Naoki! Boy, am I glad to see you guys. Do you know where Kai had gone off to? It is important." 

Both of my friends were confused as I remember my encounter with a mysterious Cardfighter. 

"So, you are Min, I assume?"  He said as I was going on my way , thinking about Aichi. 

"So, what if I am? What you want with me?" I demanded. 

That was when something he said shocked me. "You and your little friends must stop trying to find Aichi Sendou. " 

I said, "You know where Aichi is?!? Tell me!" 

He lifts up his deck as I faced him in a Cardfight. As the duel ended, He said as he disappears, "Forget Aichi  Sendou." 

I was curious of who he was as I rush to find Kai.

Misaki and Naomi exchanged looks as I finished explaining what had happen. 

"That sounds very mysterious, Min. Did you find out who is this mysterious person who challenged you?" Misaki asks. 

 I shook my head, "I have no idea, but it seems to me that he is somewhat connected with Aichi's disappearance and why everyone we know doesn't have the memories of him. " 

We reached into the school gym as Naoki exclaimed, "It looks like Kai's having a very intense Cardfight, but with Miwa?" 

"I'm surprise you recognize him right away, Naoki. Kai and Miwa were the closest best friends aside of Aichi and me.

Maybe Kai is trying to get his memories of Aichi back , just like how you and Misaki got your memories back." 

As the Cardfight continues Kai said, "Miwa, you must remember Aichi! " 

He groans as Naoki said, "If this helps , maybe having a Cardfight would help Kamui gets his memories of Aichi too." 

The Cardfight ended as Miwa turns to us, grinning, "Hey, Min, Misaki, Naoki, it felt like a long time since we defeated Reversed hasn't it?" 

I grin, "Glad you're on board, Miwa. Listen, there's something you should know ."  

I speed them what I've told Misaki and Naoki, as Kai repeats, "Forget Aichi Sendou? Min, are you positive that what he said to you?" 

I nod as Misaki turns to Kai, "Being with you guys, things got a lot more interesting ." 

Kai sighs as an familiar voice said, "Hey! I want to challenge you to a Cardfight!" 

In front of us was Kamui!

"Whoa, Kamui!" I exclaimed with pure shock.
