Guardelia Stream 12

(Nonoha) "I attack your ace with Sun Lady Mela and then Flame Lady Mela will end this battle!" She dominated that battle completely..... (Kimmy) "Hana are you okay?" (Hana) "Yeah I'm fine...." (Nonoha) "You three need to get serious if you don't want your club to be closed down. The Music club at this point would wipe the floor with you...." (???) "Why did you even come here? to humiliate us?" (Momozu) "Sasuke please calm down...." (Nonoha) "Well a student council member challenged one of the music club members! As a mock battle let's say and it's only fair this club gets the same treatment!" (Momozu Thoughts) "So your using my battle as an excuse to get your power trip!" (Nonoha) "The series will take place tomorrow so you better be ready!"

She walked out of the room....Momozu are you actually involved in this scheme? (Hana) "Sorry I wasn't up to scratch guy's....I am not the best at Guardelia!" (Kimmy) "Hey don't worry about it I am still fine tuning my deck as well!" At this rate there is no hope for us to win, all three members of the Music Club team were incredibly skilled players while at best I am average while these two are beginners! (Sosuke) "Do you two think you could get the cards to update your decks to point of contender ship against the other team?" (Kimmy) "I just need a few more negate cards, I could maybe trade with some people or buy a few packs! (Hana) "I just need a few more Level 3's to make my deck stronger!" (Sasuke) "Then try and sort that out.....I think under the circumstances we can take a break from the club today." (Kimmy) "Ugh sure thing but what about you Sasuke?" (Sasuke) "I will go do some last minute tuning myself!"

We went our separate ways I saw the two of them go into town to probably buys some packs! But I had a different plan, I waited for about 10 minutes....(???) "What is so important?" I felt kind of nervous but I needed to do this, (Sasuke) "Neyuri please battle me.....I want to fight a strong Luna deck user...." (Neyuri) "No offense Sasuke but your not the best and I have a tournament to prepare for!" (Sasuke) "I know and I am sorry to interrupt your prep....it's just I need to face a Luna deck before the best of 3. I know it doesn't mean much to you but me and the others love performing on the stage.....it's our passion and we want to fight with everything we've got to keep our club open. And I know you once felt that way about the Music club....." he gave me an angry look.....I know they had awkward history!

(Neyuri) "Fine I will be your opponent but you are going first and I won't hold back" (Sasuke) "Thank you friend". We both drew our opening hands and -deep breath- can do this, "I summon Pidgeon Statue as my ace and place an effect card!" (Neyuri) "I draw and then I summon Luna Mage Nora as my ace and she will attack your ace, I shall end my by placing an effect card!" (Sasuki) "I draw and my ace shall surpass it's previous self by becoming a Statue of Falcon" (Neyuri) "Please don't be theatrical". (Sasuke) "I apologize, I will now summon a Statue of Gargoyle and both my monsters attack your ace!" He did not use a shield and went down to 13 lives, I bet 4 on my Gargoyle thinking he would block my ace! (Neyuri) "I summon Luna Witch Fiona and as my new ace and use her ability to sacrifice an effect card to summon a monster from my deck! I choose Luna Witch Kara and both of my Witch's will attack your ace!"

Guardelia Stream Part 11

Why didn't I use my support last turn.....I could of got an extra 2 damage and maybe....(Saori) "May are you okay? You don't have to stress it's just a...." (May) "I move Reaper Noel to the defence zone and then I summon Lunar Reaper Tetsuki and use her ability, I send Lunar Reaper Cloak to the Support Zone!" (Saori) "May....are you having fun?"....fun ugh I had to think for a second! (May) "Right now no.....since returning to Guardelia all I have is done battle for other people's sake" I was enjoying performing with Lazula till that battle with Miss Saya and then I only battled Momozu because she wanted too! "Saori I am sorry I have felt obligated to battle lately but I promise from this point on I will go all out for myself!" (Saori) "Now that's the fire I want to see, come at me with your best May".

(May) "As you wish, first I attack your ace with a Tetsuki joined by my Cloak!" (Saori) "I will block the attack with Triple Leaf Shield!" I bet 5 total on the attack....I expected a guard as it could of been a finishing blow! (May) "I then attack with Twin-Blades!" (Saori) "I will use Blossom Shield!" as expected, 0 damage this turn....but it's fine I will try my best to make it through this turn, I placed an effect card! (Saori) "I activate Early Forest and then I perform the Triple 1 Skill!" (May) "I will block that...." (Saori) "What how.....I thought Desperate Shield was your Perfect shield?" (May) "Actually Full Shadow Shield is.....I just had a hunch to swap them last battle!" I don't really know why I had that feeling but I guess I was lucky, "Oh this shield's condition is that I have used at least 4 Qautre's worth of Shadow shield's!" It was the most common perfect shield condition.....but Saori did not look phased for some reason I felt kind of excited!

(Saori) "I will activate Leaf Cloak and summon Leaf-Emperor Liger and his ability allows him to attack after an action! With the activation condition being all my other monsters are Level 1!" By action I guess it would normally be an attack but since she used Triple 1 she couldn't attack with her new ace! "Okay Emperor Liger will joint attack your ace with Tiger Cub's help! (May) "I will defend with Reaper Noel and Twin-Shadow Shield" phew that was a close one. (Saori) "Wow I can't believe you got through that turn....." (May) "I summon Stream Lunar Reaper Tetsuki as my ace, Saori you are worthy of facing my strongest card!" she smiled! I used her ability to activate Fateful Night and declared an attack on her ace using Stream Tetuski and Cloak joint attacking! She didn't guard it, we both shook hands after the battle!

(Saori) "That was a lot of fun, May you utilize your cards so well in battle!" (May) "Thanks Saori but to be honest if I had drawn a weaker shield you would of won...hey um wanna hear our latest song?" (Saori) "Of course I would love to see you guys!" she sat through our opening act and seemed to be enjoying the concert. (Lazula) "It's good you two are getting on but are you sure you can trust her? She was once close to Yu and anyone around him...." (May) "Look Lazula stop judging everyone....I'm sorry...." (Lazula) "It's fine, just go have fun with your friend, I have stuff to take care of!" I always kind of go along with her trashing others but after that battle with Saori I feel different! I feel at piece, I just have to get through one more battle and I can go back to always battling for fun!

Guardelia Stream Part 10

We both stood far apart from each other and drew our opening hands let's see what you've got Saori. (Saori) "I will start by summoning Petal Deer as my ace and then I will end my turn by placing an effect card!" (May) "I open by summoning Scar Lunar Reaper as my ace and she will attack your Deer!" (Saori) "I activate Leaf Blossom Shield!" she got her continuous shield on turn one....what a pain, I could power boost but it's not worth it just for 2 damage! (May) "I will place 2 effect cards and call it a turn!" (Saori) "It's interesting I could feel your struggle to make a decision on how to react!" (May) "What can I say I have a lot of experience with Guardelia!" (Soari) "Yet you took a break till the battle against Miss Saya, can I ask why?" (May) "Hmm hm hm hmm" I don't want to think back.....to then, (Saori) "I see sorry for asking, I draw and then I summon Plains Liger as my new ace and use his ability to add a level 1 tiger to my hand!

I then summon Leaf Tiger Cub to the Support Zone and my monsters will joint attack your ace!" I took the hit......she max bet and hit me for 6 damage, (May) "I draw then I summon Lunar Reaper Yu and use his ability to re summon my Scar Reaper! I then activate Lunar Sword which levels her up once and I will change her to a Lunar Reaper Noel and joint attack your ace!" I also dealt 6 damage to her but I didn't like being at a disadvantage like this! "If I can ask why did you choose to help our team out instead of the Drama club if you are friends with one of the members?" (Saori) "Well....when I saw your battle against Momozu I felt some sort of passion that is missing from most Guardelia players! I want to be able to reach that level of joy with the game!" ....Joy?

I don't know if I actually feel that way when I get serious.....ugh what was that tune again da....no! I ended my turn with another effect card let's see more of your strategies. (Saori) "I summon Leaf-Crown Liger as my ace and then I activate Level Match to change his level to the same as my Cub's!" Okay her we go I know what to expect this time around, "I then summon a new Leaf Tiger in an attack zone and Liger attacks your ace!" (May) "I will block it with Peaceful Moon Shield!" (Saori) "I then perform a joint attack with my Leaf Tiger and Cub!" (May) "I will activate 3 Quatre's Shadow Shield!" She used Liger's ability and I took 5 damage which took me down to 9 lives! But it's fine, I think I can end this as long as I survive her next turn! I drew my next card and prepared for my set up turn

(May) "I summon Lunar-Reaper Twin-Blades as my new ace and then I summon Lunar Reaper Yu and activate Fateful Night and both my monsters attack your ace!" I bet 9 stones which took her down to 6 lives, I had the lead.....no May calm down! (Saori) "Are you okay?" I nodded, since playing Guardelia again I have felt constantly fired up! There is no need for me to relax now is there? "Okay then will summon a new Petal Deer to the offense zone then use the Pyramid Level Formation and power boost my Deer! All three of my monsters will attack your ace! (May) "I will block Liger's attack with a Quatre Shadow Shield!......huh she only bet 1 stone on her Deer and 2 on her Tiger! I think I see what she is going for, guess I have to try and end things this turn!

Guardelia Stream Part 9

(Saori) "I draw and then I summon Master-Leaf Deer, I move Petal Lion Cub to the defence zone! I summon Leaf-Crown Liger and I activate Early Forest this changes all my field monsters to level 1! I then activate Master-Leaf's ability and my monsters will attack your ace!" (Jeane) "I will guard against Master-Leaf's attack with Iron Shield!" (Saori) "I activate Liger's ability which allows a monster who's attack was stopped to attack again!" (May) "Conditional ability?" (Saori) "Yes it only works if his level was changed to 1!" I see so her deck has many tricks based on level manipulation.....very interesting. Jeane had lost 6 lives so I guess Saori predicted wrong on which attack would be blocked but things looked rough for Jeanne.... "Master-Leaf Deer will attack your Ace again!" (Jeanne) "I will guard with Gold Shield!"

That shield wasn't worth the damage reduction.....she is most likely setting up her perfect but she could of saved it for next turn! "I will summon Emerald-Soul Hyena......all three of my monsters attack your ace! (Saori) "Petal Lion Cub will defend against your Gryphon, then I use Leaf Shield against your Lizard and finally I activate Leaf Blossom against your Hyena!". Wow she guarded against all three attacks, not to mention her board was incredibly strong. (Jeanne thoughts) "I....I never stood a chance against her.....why can't I play Guardelia well!" Hmm why am I getting this weird feeling, (Saori) "I summon Petal Deer to the Support Zone and then I activate Level Match to allow Liger to match Petal Deer's level!" And that's pretty much game, "Liger and Master-Leaf attack your ace" Jeanne took both attacks!

(Lazula) "Congrats on the win, I guess this means you will be on the team." (Saori) "Thank you I will do my best in the best of 3 and um Jeanne thanks for the battle!" They both shook hands but I could tell neither of them felt happy with the battle, (May) "Thanks for offering to help Jeanne!" (Jeanne) "Um don't worry about it May you have always helped me out.....sorry I couldn't...ugh I forgot I have some where to be, later!" Ugh....why can't she just tell me when she is upset, I guess I have not been the most approachable lately! Well I guess all we have to do now is win the series and keep our club open but it still bugs me that Saori offered her help for no reason! I decided to go visit a hall after school as our band was offered a chance to perform on stage as an opening act for a concert!

I arrived and there was Saori again, (Saori) "Oh hey May I heard you guys were performing so I thought I would check it out." (May) "Ah thanks for the support, hey um Saori are you familiar with any one in the Drama club?" (Saori) "Just Kimmy, the other day she was being picked on but we were able to have a fun battle....." (May) "Do you have what it takes to beat her and close down her club?" she gave me a shocked look. "Look, like I said this is personal for us and if you don't have what it takes to beat...." (Saori) "Battle me now! May I want to re find my joy in Guardelia and I feel like you can help me find it" (May) "Fine but be warned the stronger the opponent the more motivated I feel!" We both drew out opening hands and I will be going second!

Guardelia Stream Part 8

-The next day at the Music Clubroom- (Lazula) "So Nonoha's lackey challenged you to a battle?". (May) "Yeah Momozu challenged me, you don't have to talk about her like that though!" I get she isn't fond of the student council for forcing us to battle another club to keep our's open. (Lazula) "I just don't trust them....Nonoha is definitely doing this for her own amusement! Did you talk to Jeanne?" (May) "Yeah I asked her to meet us here...." we waited for a bit and she finally showed up! (Jeanne) "Sorry I had a project to hand in and um if you need a third player....." (Saori) "WAIT....I have heard you guy's are looking for a third member of your team...-breaths heavily- I can help!" Hmm it's that person from yesterday, (May) "Thanks for the offer but we don't really know you. This is kind of personal for us and we want a team mate we have complete trust in".

(Saori) "I understand....no offense Jeanne but you went to May instead of battling that teacher yourself! I at least feel confident in my abilities....". (Lazula) "Your loss against Yu ses otherwise I heard he barely tried against you!". (Saori) "Please believe me....I am good enough to be on your team!". We only met yesterday yet she is willing to fight alongside us.....but why? I closed my eyes and imagined a gentle tune, (May) "Okay how about Jeanne and Saori, you guys battle for the spot!" (Lazula) "I think we should stick with Jeanne but if that's what you want May?" I nodded. This way we can determine who is stronger.....no I mean our team mate. (Jeanne) "Sure thing give me all you've got Saori!" (Saori) "Ugh yeah you um do the same Jeanne." That fire from before seems to have faded!

I flipped a coin and Jeanne won the toss, (Jeanne) "I will re draw 3 cards! I then summon Sapphire-Soul Snake as my ace and I place 2 effect cards then call it a turn!" (Saori) "I will re draw 2 cards then I draw and I summon Petal Tiger Cub as my ace, then I summon a Petal Lion Cub and both my monsters attack your ace!" (Jeanne) "I will guard the Lion Cub's attack with a Bronze Shield!" This took Jeanne down to 18 lives but Saori had bet 4 stones, "I summon Iron-Soul Owl as my new ace and I activate it's ability to return my level 1 ace to the deck and add a monster with the same gem type as the returned one!" Looks like Jeanne is going to go for her favourite ace monster, "I then summon Ruby-Soul Falcon and both my monsters attack your ace!" Saori did not use a shield and went down to 14 lives!

(Saori) "I draw then I summon Twin Leaf Lion as my ace and I use his ability which allows him to match the level of another Lion monster! I summon a second one and do the same, I then use the Triple 1 skill to deal you 6 damage!" she then ended her turn with 2 effect cards, this took Jeanne down to 12 lives! (Jeanne) "I summon Sapphire-Soul Lizard as my ace and then I use his ability to swap out a field gem monster with a deck one, I choose to exchange my falcon for Ruby-Soul Gryphon who is power boosted when summoned from the deck! Both my monsters will attack your ace" (Saori) "I will activate Leaf Blossom Shield against your Lizard's attack!" Saori used a continuous shield, they give the lowest defence boost but can be used every turn but only once! Jeanne bet 5 stones on Gryphon which took Saori down to 9 lives, she had bet 3 on Lizard though. Smart move going for the lowest bet since Gryphon's power boost made sure Saori needed a higher shield against it's attack!

Guardelia Stream 7

I drew a card.....okay I might be able to pull this off, (May) "I summon another Masked Lunar-Reaper and perform the Triple 1 skill!" (Momozu) "Wow you must be desperate to rely on that -thoughts- how was she able to beat Miss Saya?" (Saori thoughts) "Normally when a player uses this skill they do it on their second turn but this is May's third....it may be too late to build up a strong formation!". Looks like they are doubting me....I will prove them wrong! (May) "I summon Lunar Reaper Noel as my new ace and place 2 effect cards!". My next draw will decide if I can come back.....hmm hm hm hm hmmm! Try to relax May....(Momozu) "Whatever humming won't save you I summon Luna-Knight Paladin G2 as my new ace!" Luna-Knight Paladin the ace card of the former number 1 player in the world....a card so legendary they gave her an updated form. And I get to face them, my hands can't stop shaking!

"I also summon a new Luna-Knight Sword and activate Lunar Formation which allows all my Luna monsters to match the power of my strongest one! My Paladin will attack first! (May) "I will guard with Half Shadow Shield!" I took the attack's from her following 2 monsters which took me down to 6 lives! (Momozu) "I am not done yet Paladin's ability let's me attack with her again if I have used a Luna effect card this turn now attack the ace!" (May) "I will block that with a Quatre Shadow Shield!" ugh that was a rough turn but I made it through. Yet I feel excited.....(Saori Thoughts) "Despite the odds being against her she is still smiling.....May I want to be like you!". I drew a card, (May) "I summon Luna Reaper Tetsuki as my new ace and use her ability to send Scar Lunar-Reaper to the Support Zone! I then activate Lunar Axe which allows me to summon a monster 2 levels above a field one in it's place, I choose to summon Lunar-Reaper Tetsuki Twin in the place of my Cloak Reaper!"

(Momozu) "Congrats your board is a little stronger but it still won't be enough to win!" (May) "We will see, I attack your ace with Tetsuki first" (Momozu) "I will block it with Crescent Moon Shield!" I only bet 3 stones on the attack as I expected her to block! I then attacked with Tetsuki twins and she blocked again with a Half Moon Shield! I also only bet 3 on the attack, (May) "I activate Tetsuki Twin's ability which like Paladin's let's her attack again but only betting 2 stones this time!" she took the attack! I moved Masked Lunar-Reaper to the defence zone! Okay this is the turn I have to get through, (Momozu) "I will activate Lunar Formation again plus Fateful Night which power boosts all my Luna monsters by 100! Paladin will attack your ace first" I blocked it with another Half Shadow Shield! "Then my Archer attacks!" (May) "I will counter with Scythe Assassinate, this destroys an attacking attack zone monster!"

I then took the hit from her Sword and lost 3 lives this toom me down to my last 3! (Momozu) "I use Paladin's conditional ability once again! (May) "I use Desperate Shield, it's use condition is if my lives are 5 or below!". (Momozu) "No....no way is that why you didn't use that Assassinate card earlier?" I nodded, I drew and it was time to end this! (May) "I summon Stream Lunar-Reaper Tesuki as my ace and I use her ability to activate Lunar Axe to level up my Support Zone monster to a second Tetsuki Twins! I attack with my Stream Tetsuki!" (Momozu) "I guard with Full Moon Shield which is a perfect shield!" it's play condition was to activate crescent and half moon shields in order! (May) "I attack with my Support Zone Tetsuki Twin who is power boosted due to following a stream monster!" (Momozu Thoughts) "So that's how you beat Miss Saya, Nonoha will value this information!" I then attacked with my other Tetsuki Twins and won! (Saori) "Wow well played May" (May) "Thanks".

(Enrique) "What do you mean sell the ship? why would we do that?". (Sky) "It's a better option than sinking it plus it means the two of you will get some money out of it!". (Kirami) "But we need it to sail around right?" (Sky) "Look I am the only one of us who is officially wanted so it's better if you stay away from me!". (Enrique) "No they are after the one who wields the Azure Crystal Sword and Captain Leone is the one in possession of it!". If only it was that simple, (Sky) "No offense but hunting outlaws is hard....." (Kirami) "Hey don't forget I am also a hunter and I can take you on...." (Sky) "Look you may have some technique but you need true battle experience to be a skilled warrior! Don't forget you tried to fool me in the restaurant, that's enough to confirm to me you knew you wouldn't of won a duel!".

We made it to Bronzaurion, "Hey Kirami once we get a bit of money I will take you to the sword shop to replace your sword!" The ones the Iron Pirates had were pretty basic, I felt my techniques were a lot less efficient when using this sword! (Enrique) "Look Sky I think we should stick together....." I didn't bother to respond, I wanted to go and check the bounty's hmm look like one is hanging out here! Hmm Stealth Shot Gwayn....-click- (???) "Forget you read that okay?" (Sky) "I see you are still a coward, Gwayn!" (Gwayn) "Don't mock me Sky I am sick of your touch guy garbage...".-click- (Kirami) "Pull the trigger and I will turn in your corpse pirate!". Wow she caught Gwayn off guard maybe she is more talented than I thought, (Sky) "It's fine we are um kind of on decent terms!"

I told her about how we once belonged to the same crew but it didn't stop Kirami from distrusting him! (Kirami) "He is still a criminal and I don't like his attitude" (Gwayn) "Spoken like a child who has had an easy life...." she drew her sword again wow she is a fast draw than he is! (Kirami) "I am the daughter of one of the most skilled swordsman don't think for a second he didn't push me to continue his legacy!" (Gwayn) "I apologize, I am just on edge because the Armada is after me they are yet to identify me by face but they followed me here!" (Sky) "I see, why not just leave the island then?" (Gwayn) "There is rumoured to be a Key Crystal in some nearby ruins!". No way....that was the type of crystal stolen from our crew all those years a go!

(Sky) "Gwayn do you know if the Reaper Blade's have heard this rumour?" he shook his head. That was the crew our attacker belonged too, (Gwayn) "I do know an Armada Commander is here though!". Hmm as much as I respect Gwayn's skill there is no way they would send a Commander after him! Does that mean they are also after the Key Crystal's as well? (Sky) "I will go and search the ruins.....I lost my sword so they shouldn't be able to recognise me and I can pretend I'm an archaeologist or something". (Gwayn) "Thanks Sky I will be here if you need me for anything!" I made my way over to the ruins and it seemed pretty quiet and I didn't seem to draw any attention! (???) "Would you look at that the Azure Blade has come to this island how fortunate" I turned around....I saw the number 5 and I can't believe my luck. The one Armada member who has seen my face 5th Commander Percival Argeo!

Sea's of Cryceleon 3

-Night approached and Kirami prepared to set her plan in motion- I felt bad I had that meal while Sky was locked up! Despite the fact he is a known criminal he still helped me escape before. I tried to reach the cells but I had no idea where to find them, I took a sword they had in a barrel! I snuck around the watchmen and finally made it to what looked like the cells but there was a guard! I guess I will have to use this (Kirami) "Crystal technique Sleepion" -thud- I waited around to make sure no one else showed up....phew. I looked around till I found Sky and luckily he was awake, (Kirami) "Sky did they hurt you at all?" (Sky) "Nope, that sword can I have it?" I didn't hesitate to give it to him and he used it to open the cell door! (Kirami) "Now what do we do? the Armada are probably still looking for us outside!" (Sky) "We will have to take a ship, ever sailed before?" I shook my head but he said he can try and teach me.

(Enrique) "Huh...." (Sky) "Crystal technique Beam Sword" (Enrique) "Ugh....darn...it" (Kirami) "What do we do with him?" (Sky) "Take him hostage of course, then turn him in on another island. A member of the Iron Pirates should have some sort of price on them!" (Enrique) "I am not a member.....I was just a resident of this island who was sent to meet you. And to spread rumours of the Azure Blade coming to this island to lure you here Kirami!" (Kirami) "Huh why?" (Enrique) "Well you are both skilled swordsman so Leone wanted to dispose of you both, he tipped off the Armada!". (Sky) "That scum.....you two go to a ship and make preparations I am going to go take down Leone!" (Enrique) "But why you can just escape....." (Sky) "I guess I will keep my promise and give you half the reward money!"

-Sky split up from the others and made his way over to the Captain quarters-. -Bam- (Leone) "So you escaped, I guess I should of expected as much." (Sky) "You can surrender now or I can take you down!" (Leone) "Hahaha I respect the bluff kid but I am at least a decade ahead of you in terms of battle skill!" he picked up a hammer with ease "Secret technique Grande Hammer" (Sky) "Defence Technique Sword Dance" ugh.....he broke through the technique with ease! (Leone) "Like I said kid we are at least a decade apart in terms of skill....." (Armada Admin) "We have found the Iron Pirates stronghold, SURRENDER NOW PIRATES!" I ran as soon as I heard that announcement! There is no way they can catch us if we escape by ship, (Sky) "I will take you down one day!"

Luckily the dock wasn't too far, I boarded the ship the others were on (Kirami) "What happened?" (Sky) "He was too strong....I need more experience to have a chance against him!" (Enrique) "The fact you survived is impressive enough!" The Armada soldiers started entering the dock so we began to set sail (Admin) "Don't let them escape" they started shooting but the preparations were made and we were able to get reach the sea! (Enrique) "Do we go to the neighbour island Gwayzell?" (Sky) "No they will just follow us there we will go further out to Bronzaurion island! We will need a new ship as this one will most likely be identified by the Iron Pirates mark.

Sea's of Cryceleon 2

(Soldier) "Check all nearby areas!" the sound of constant marching was a little unsettling but we kept hidden! (Kirami) "Why are they after me? I didn't do anything" (Sky) "They don't exactly trust bounty hunters!". (Kirami) "Huh? but we take down so many of the criminals in the world." (Sky) "A threat is a threat to the Armada, it doesn't matter if they have a price on their head...." I stopped because she gave me an angry look! It's still weird though I have never heard any rumours about this girl so how do they know about her? (Pirate) "So are you two the ones causing a commotion?" I drew my sword! "Hey calm down now.....me and the others are in the same boat so how about I take you to my Captain, I'm sure he will be willing to help you two to lay low!" (Kirami) "Help from a Pirate I don't...." (Sky) "Sure we would love to meet your Captain -whispers to Kirami- we don't have many options right now so let's accept their hospitality for now!".

He took us to some underground passage.....wow is this a secret dock hmm so this is how he get's away with his attacks! (???) "Ah so these are the two who have the Armada running around like headless chickens! (Sky) "My apologies if it inconveniences you let's um just say I have a moderate bounty on my head!" (???) "Ah a rookie, personally mine is quite large hahaha Iron Soul Leone is the name!" (Sky) "Sky also known as the Azure Blade!" (Kirami) "I um am no one special...." (Leone) "None sense someone as pretty as you is very special! why not join me for a meal?" he started to walk over to us. I reached for my sword.....but we were surrounded! "Foolish boy I know you are here for my bounty, and girl I know you are a hunter too!" (Sky) "I am here to gather info on someone else...." (Enrique) "Pull the other one Sky you came here to claim the bounty on Leone and give me half the money remember!"

-Sky was thrown in jail while Kirami was kept with Leone- (Kirami) "Why not just send me to a cell like Sky?". (Leone) "I would like to offer you a place in my crew! After all your father was a very skilled swordsman and I'm sure that talent runs in the blood!" (Kirami) "But Sky is far more skilled than me....." (Leone) "GRRR that brat can't be trusted.....he has gotten many of my elite crew members arrested! That boy is known across the seas of Cryceleon and feared by many Pirates! Plus I would rather have diner with you than him any day, shall we eat? (Kirami thoughts) "I don't have many options at the moment so I guess I will just go along with this guy for now! Maybe I can steal the key to the cells and save Sky at night or something!"

-Over at the cells- (Sky) "So you were a member of his crew the whole time?" (Enrique) "Of course why wouldn't I be with this secret dock he has ambushed many ships. We have so many supplies we can exchange them with other Pirate Crews to stay in their good books!" (Sky) "Why set me up though I had no intention of coming after Leone till you told me his hiding spot!" (Enrique) "One your reputation and two he knows you are apart of the Reaper Blade's!" (Sky) "I am an associate!" (Enrique) "Still we want nothing to do with them, I'm done talking enjoy your time here hahahaha!". Looks like I will be stuck here for a bit, all I need is a sword so I will try and steal one. Leone you have just motivated me more to take you down!

Zatsu Tabi-That's Journey

I did 2 drawings of her as I think both outfits look cool, I especially like the longer coat one. The proportioning is a bit rough as the lower body looks too thin, then the first one is a bit too wide. Definitely want to try and get a smoother drawing of her in the future.

These are some covers I made for story parts, they are for youtube videos as I thought it would be fun to try out posting them. The smaller sheets of paper have not limited me so far just feel like I need to figure out better backgrounds since they have mostly been effect based so far.

The first deck is one I finished after occasionally working on it over 2 years. Then the second one is one I worked on over this month (happy I was able to up my pace a bit). First deck is Wind horse based while the second is a Night Reapers deck. Not sure if I will have one done by next month but glad I got these two done this month :D.

These are my latest Atelier drawings, all four outfit designs look really good. Sophie i probably my favourite as I think it's the smoothest of the 4 plus the pose looks really cute. The Eva drawing also looks really good just wish I made the arms a bit longer....it feels kind of awkward.

Sea's of Cryceleon

(Captain) "Take him down no matter the cost....ugh" -Thud, Thud, Thud- (???) "Mazao what is happening?" don't worry about it kid, I'm sure the problem will be resolved just stay there!" He walked off and after a few minutes I heard some splash, I got up and saw some guy covered....in....bl...blood! (???) "Don't worry kid I'm a professional and don't need to leave corpses.....well who knows what happened to the last one." I took out a dagger but he just laughed at me, (???) "Don't throw away your life, I just wanted this". He showed off a crystal and then made his way to another ship.....I avoided following, I was scared in case his crew spotted me!

I still remember that day clearly no matter how many years passed, when I find that guy he will pay for what he did! (???) "Looks like we have arrived at Opazion Island! (???) "I see thank you for helping guide me here Enrique, when I claim the bounty on that criminal hiding here I will give you half the reward as payment!". Iron Soul Leone he was known for ransacking supply ships.....this world is full of greedy people! (Enrique) "Sky how about we get something to eat at that restaurant over there!" (Sky) "Yeah sure" I bought the meals since I still had money left over from my last bounty! A lot of people seemed un easy around me but I guess that was due to the sword! (Enrique) "Thanks for the meal Sky, I will go ask around about Leone you just relax." I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a break, it felt like at least an hour had passed....was he not done yet?

(???) "Oh hey mind if I sit with you?" (Sky) "Nope, just waiting on someone!" she sat opposite me! (???) "I am assuming you are new to the island so I thought you should have someone welcome you here, my name is Kirami!" (Sky) "Nice to meet you my name is Sky, I am from Armouzu!". I found it weird how she did not seem scared of me despite the fact I walked around with a sword....that typically frightened people off! We talked for a bit and I began to feel more at ease, (Kirami) "Oh, I think you should take a look at the latest bounty's if you are a Hunter that is?". I looked at the poster.....huh looks like they have finally identified the symbol on my sword! -Click- Hmm the unsheathing of a sword!, (Sky) "-Hyugh-" so she tried to get me to lower my guard with the bounty poster how clever! (Kirami) "N...no way you were able to guard.....you leave me no choice Sword Technique!"

(Armada Admin) "Troops the Pirate is inside surround the building also capture the girl!" (Kirami) "Huh WHY ME?" (Sky) "Ssh we need to escape this place!" (Kirami) "Shut up pirate I will claim your bounty in honour of....." -Slash- (Sky) "You do you but I'm out of here -hyuh- I I jumped threw a hole I made to the roof! (Kirami) "Ugh if they are after me too fine I will come -hyuh-, now what!" (Sky) "We wait for them to enter the building and make a break for it!" They gave us one last warning before rushing in so we both ran off to a nearby forest! Luckily they were too distracted to notice our escape but we can't risk being caught by any of the towns people! But I can't let my guard down around this girl.....she could backstab me at any point!

Guardelia Stream 6

-In the Student Council office- (Member 1) "The two least popular clubs are the Drama and the Tennis club". (Nonoha) "Hmm I see but is there any viability in keeping the Music club around?". (???) "Why not just axe the Tennis club, I hear most hate the after school practice!". Hopefully that's enough input to end this pointless meeting....Nonoha looks annoyed! (Nonoha) "Momozu you need to learn to hide your bias's better no we will have a little contest between the Drama and Music club! Each club has at least 3 competent Guardelia players so a best of 3 series should decide which one is disbanded!". And you say I'm bad at hiding my bias's we all know she is only throwing the Music club in the hat because of that May girl!

Ugh that stupid meeting took up most of the lunch break....Sasuke is gonna be upset! Guess I will go tell him about the situation so he can get some training in....(???) "May next time you battle a teacher try not to get the rest of us in trouble!". (May) "-Sigh- Jeanne asked for help....she is one of the few friends I have outside of the club. Also you would of battled her too Lazula" (Lazula) "Yeah but I would of wagered an A on all grades as well!" (May) "Anything for an easy time". (Lazula) "Oi cheeky, hahaha let's go prep for this best of 3, we need to pick a third player!". Why bother with this farce, I will just go and beat this May girl now and prove the hype is over exaggerated.

-After school May made her way home- I guess the student council isn't aware that only me and Lazula are into Guardelia. -Sigh- I guess I could maybe ask Jeanne but she isn't the best player....-bump-. (May) "Oh I'm sorry I was deep in thought!" (Saori) "Oh it's cool and sorry I'm in the same boat...." we helped each other collect our dropped possessions! "Oh I think I have seen you around my name is Saori!" (May) "Nice to meet you I'm M...." (Momozu) "May Yutaya I challenge you to a battle!" (May) "Yeah my name is May nice to meet you Saori" I offered her a handshake and she awkwardly accepted it while looking at my challenger! (Momozu) "Don't mock me...." (May) "It would of been impolite to ignore someone greeting me and what makes you think I want to battle you, de lalal lu la" (Saori) "Are you um okay?" (May) "Humming helps me relax...."

(Momozu) "Battle me I want to see if you are as good as the rumours suggest!" my hand started to shake! (May) "Okay sure, I guess it gives me a chance to test my deck scanner! Hmm perfect now generate the board" (Momozu) "Bring it on" we both drew our opening hands and looks like I get to go first! I re drew 3 cards.....no level 2's this might be rough! (May) "Okay I will open by summoning Masked Lunar-Reaper and place an effect card". (Momozu) "I draw then I summon Luna-Knight Squire and he attacks your ace!" this took me down to 18 lives. (May) "I summon a Lunar Reaper Cloak in an offense zone and both my monsters attack Squire!" looks like luck isn't on my side but I will just have to up my late game performance! (Momozu) "I summon Luna-Knight Sword as my new ace and use his ability to send Squire to the defence zone then I summon Luna-Knight Archer! Sword will attack your ace first" I chose not to shield! "Then Archer attacks your ace and if he attacks after the ace he gets a power boost!" I chose not to guard again! this took me down to 12 lives as she bet 3 stones on each monster!

Ya Hoh Mood Swing 5

(Mr Gullion) "Now who can tell me what the....." -Ding dong ding- ugh thank goodness....I forgot the answer! "Shame, we will pick things up tomorrow class" (Girl) "Hey Hananori wanna go to that Karaoke club?" (Hananori) "Yeah sure....but that new owner is a little scary!" Psh he probably doesn't let himself be pushed around by people like her. "Hey were you listening to our conversation?" (Naomi) "No I heard it because you don't know what control is" (Hananori) "Oh sorry to disrupt whatever your next thuggish scheme is!" (Naomi) "Shut up now....." (Mr Gullion) "NAOMI AND HANANORI stay behind NOW!" Aw man why does he have to say my name first....it makes it feel more like I regularly get in trouble. We had to stay behind for for 30 minutes.....mom is gonna be so mad at me!

(Hananori) "-Sigh- Naomi I am sorry for the thug comment, I know you are um trying to avoid getting in trouble. I just um let trying to impress the others drive me to say dumb stuff!" (Naomi) "Thanks Hananori, sorry I got us both in trouble.....let's be honest it's not the first time!". We talked for a bit and she told me about the owner guy and how he had a short fuse. The half hour passed and we made our way outside.....(Girl) "What are you two buddies now" (Hananori) "Nah I just used the loser to kill time!" (Naomi) "Whatever wimps go get scared cause the adult doesn't put up with your annoying behaviour". It ses a lot I can snap back so easily....I guess I am destined to be an outcast.

-Form of Moonlight Belle- Okay let's go and check out this Karaoke club and see if a Chaoshu is involved! I took a breath and went inside, Hananori was here still ugh gotta avoid her. (Belle) "Hello sir may I have an orange juice please?" (Owner) "Kay kid" he gave me the drink and left the counter, (Belle) "So um have a wide selection of songs Mr?" (Owner) "Why not check the catalogue yourself brat!". I see okay then this may be all I need, (Belle) "I am onto you Chaoshu!" any second now.....oh no he seems mad! (Owner) "Chaoshu is that meant to be some sort of slang insult you disrespectful brat". (???) "Ugh why did we even come here if all you do is complain?" (Owner) "-Sigh- No matter what I do you never seem pleased!" (???) "Hey wait a second that blonde girl stole our milk bottle the other day!". (Belle) "Huh, NO I have never been here before!"

(Owner) "You better leave kid....." (Hananori) "Thank you thank you." ugh Hananori might spot me. I legged it out of the place......the owner guy then screamed at me, I hid in a nearby alley and changed back to normal! Why did that girl accuse me of stealing a milk bottle? I have never been near this place before! Not only that I have never even seen her before it's like she tried to get rid of me. I might ask around and see if anyone else has had to deal with any thefts lately as a Chaoshu could be involved. Ugh mom is gonna kill me when I get home for me being so late!

Ya Hoh Mood Swing 4

(Hero) "I will defeat thee evil fiend Pillar of the Burning Sun!" (Demon) "UUUGH darn you Sun-Hero Kyo..." Wow this movie is so cheesy. what is with these over dramatic poses....ow darn wand. (Mother) "What's wrong Naomi I thought you liked these hero films?" (Naomi) "Yeah I did, like 3 years a go now I can't help but see how hammy the acting is!" I say the chant because it helps me focus my energy.....I am so glad most people don't catch me in the act it would be embarrassing if they did! Looks like the movie is over, it was decent I guess but like I said it's still so over dramatic. As we made our way out I noticed a movie poster.....it was her the mascot for Golden Shine! I can't believe they actually have a dumb movie ugh.....who wants to see some fake positive vibes merch movie huh?

(Man) "The door is locked....." (Woman) "Nonooono please let us out" (Employee) "Hmm the doors seem to be auto locked!". Ugh why does this place need automatic doors.....hmm wasn't this a recent change to the building? (Employee) "The door maintenance may take some time so we can allow a free screening as an apology for the inconvenience!". I mean a free movie screening could make this ordeal worth it.....WHAT every scheduled screening is that lame Golden Shine movie! (Mother) "Well I guess I will go watch the film what about you honey?" (Naomi) "I want to chill out here for a bit....I need a break from the screen!" (Mother) "Okay dear let's meet up back here after the film" I nodded. I could of swore I saw someone working on the door as we came in, surely he is involved on this!

I made my way over to the door......hmm looks like some of the wiring has been removed. (Engineer) "Hey kid what are you doing?" okay let's trust my instinct....form of Moonlight Belle -deep breath-. That took a lot out of me.....(Belle) "Don't bother acting I know you locked us all in Chaoshu, Release the spirit that is causing chaos and return thy Soul to it's calm state! Moonlight Gate!". (Engineer Chaoshu) "NO NOOOOOOOO". (Employee) "-Swipe- Hehehehe thanks for the wand kid" (Belle) "That won't stop me R...ele...ase the sp..ir ugh....my body feels....too weak!" (Employee Chaoshu) "Hahaha looks like you have hit your limit kid, we knew two of us would be enough to stop you! The other fool just didn't know he was the bait!" So these guy would throw each other under the bus to get ahead how pitiful....ugh I feel like f...fainting" -thump-. (???) "Awaken the gate and stop this defiant spirit, Gate of the Sun!" was this some sort of dream?

Things were dark for a while then suddenly (Mother) "Naomi are you okay?" (Naomi) "Oh um yeah....I just felt a bit tired" (Mother) "No wonder you didn't want to stare at the screen any longer!". I was on a bench but I swear I fell on the ground...."Oh this kind young man helped you up, thank you very much" (Naomi) "Oh thank you mister" (???) "Not a problem just try to not drain yourself too much" he then winked for some reason. When I got home I decided to go and lie down as I felt drained after what happened....huh I still had my wand on me, I hope that thinks it a toy.....I DON'T PLAY WITH TOYS!
