"The Eurobeat Continues" is a "super-archetype" thread composed of five separate archetypes tied together by a group of "Drift" Quick-Play Spells. The card thread can be found HERE. When I had originally begun designing the archetype, I had also started writing a story alongside the cards. The new thread is now called "The Eurobeat Continues", because I had an older thread with all of this set-up and spoiler'd so it was nice and neat. I posted the story bits every week when I "bumped" the thread, however, when the YCM site was updated, the post got way out of hand since the spoilers weren't working. All that said, it was one of my personal favorite projects, so I plan to repost the whole thing in weekly installments just like I had done last time. This thread will have the story while the other will have the cards. On the whole, I am going to try to write these independently so if you are interested in the story, you don't need to look at the cards, and vice versa. However, for maximum flavor and lore, I would recommend glancing at both threads. Thanks for looking through and I hope you enjoy!

Team Adarid - Arceus' Chamber "Let him have it!" "Who the hell are you trying to boss around, huh!?" Taiga's fangs began to freeze up, as she took a bite into her hand. It coated her fist in a rather thick layer of ice, as she barely even flinched from the pain it caused her. The Houndoom had left the other Houndoom wide open for an attack, so she made sure to target the one spewing all that black flaming nonsense. Bursting forward with ludicrous speed, she zipped across the chamber with a waterfall trailing close behind her fist. She'd combine all of these moves together, even the force of a Giga Impact, in one last ditch blow against the Godslayer. As she surfed up to him, she reeled her fist back, and let it fly once the Houndoom was in range. She could see the horror in his eyes, as she closed the gap in less than a second, his cockiness leading him to take this brutal attack straight to the cheek. "Taiga the Terrible Tyrant's Tundra Torrential Torpedo!" She roared, as she followed through with her punch, shattering the ice around her fist, and letting loose a couple of teeth from the Godslayer's mouth. The two skidded across the arena for a good while, with all the momentum the Taiga had accrued on her way to Kura. However, by the time where the two had come to a standstill, Kura still remained on both of his feet. Both of them were breathing heavy, as Kura's mouth dripped with blood, but he soon gripped Taiga's throat with the hand closest to her. Taiga desperately struggled to bite his hand, but she was barely even able to get her jaw open, let alone bend her neck to. She could feel the pure blood lust drip from every inch of his body. Taiga could only smile, as she linked the two's destiny on the spot. "You're weak. Someone like you would never be welcome in my new world. Consider it a mercy that you won't have to suffer for long." "Weak? Fufufu. Rich, coming from someone gettin' an ass whoopin' from a weakling!" Taiga's muffled laugh, due to more pressure being exerted on her throat, rang throughout the chamber. "Your new world ain't happenin' bud. After all, this is my world. You're just livin' in it! And I ain't about to let some power hungry dog start running it anytime soon!" Taiga then hocked a loogie straight onto Kura's cheek. The Houndoom, with a twitch of his eye, coated his arm in black flames, raising it to Taiga's chest. With a quick thrust, the godslayer's arm had pierced right through Taiga's shoulder. She began to convulse in pain, as she could feel the black flames course through what felt like her entire body. Kura seemed to be getting a good deal of extreme pain from the attack as well, seeing as how they both shared the same destiny. With a smile on her face, Taiga's dark, spectral jaws appeared from behind Kura to take a rather weak looking bite into the shoulder attached to the arm that had pierced her. In annoyance, the Godslayer threw Taiga to the side of the room, her body sliding off the entirety of his forearm. He tried to free himself from the Crunching jaws, leaving another opening. "Fufufu...give it to him real good!"

"Leave it to me!" At Mac's call, Marie had responded. Hearing the Brionne shout, as Kura recovered he looked over to see the young gijinka and then looked to see something that didn't match a person of her stature. As the others had been launching attack after attack at Kura, Marie had begun to charge up one of her own. And now a large sphere of water, many times larger than Marie herself, had hung over the girl's head. However the Godslayer would see Marie's arms down, the girl having swung them in an arc, and the water z-move was already on a crash course with the godslayer. Attempting to cloak himself in black flame, Kura was unable to move fast enough to properly attempt any sort of defense against Marie's attack. As the orb of water exploded, the entire area was filled with a sudden yet brief rain fall. Grimacing, Kura had been forced further back with the arm he used to defend against Marie's oceanic operetta trembling. "Godslayer!" Nine called out. "Let me show you how worthless that power of yours really is!" Reaching into his pocket, Nine had pulled out his fire gem and crushed it in his hand. As Nine cloaked his arm in flames, the inferno that was blazing burned a white hot color. As he reeled his arm back, the three headed beast that had been terrorizing this group had pounced towards Nine. As its maw was inches from closing down around the Chaser, Nine thrust his palm forward, letting loose the stream of white flames into the beast's mouth. The flame pierced through the body of the creature stopping in its tracks, as the flame continued to race towards the Godslayer. Bringing up his other arm, Kura coated it with dark flame to attempt to defend against Nine's attack. As the black and white flames clashed, Nine's flame had begun to creep across the Godslayer's body causing the man to only grimace further. As Nine's attack began to fade, the Godslayer put even more power into his flames, swinging his arm and letting loose an arc of black flame to finally quell Nine's. However, with both of his arms to his side and outstretched, he was clearly in no posture to defend himself. "Let him have it!"

When Rei looked over at Yasha to get his response she couldn't believe her eyes. The boy was scooping up the sludgy trash with his hands. His actual hands. She cringed as she watched him and wondered why he was bothering when she was doing it just fine herself. His answer to her suggestion was...well, disappointing. And she was inclined to agree with him when he declared himself stupid. "Not the sharpest tool in the shed I take it." She said, inwardly pleased at her word choice. The girl glanced down at the hose he was presenting her with. "Yeah I guess that makes sense..." She said. So she just had to grab this and take it to the beach and he could get spraying right? As she reached out to take it with her hand she hesitated. Suddenly what Yasha said before came to mind again. "You know these are my hands, right?" She stopped reaching and flushed at the realization. "What's the big idea? Listen if you want a girl to hold your hand you have to at least NOT have just used it to pick up trash, blergh." She gave it some thought and then, "I don't want you to get the wrong idea so, here, some spectral assistance is in order." She then grabbed it with one of her invisiarms and dragged it along the beach to stick it into the water as far from the trash as she could reasonably stick it. "Also while I'm explaining basic things to you. Everyone has things they're suited for. As you can see I can pick the garbage up much easier than you. While you can...well, do this. Next time think about who can do what before you make yourself look dumb. Well, dumber." Holding the hose in the water left Rei with just one invisiarm but that was enough to scoop up more of the trash to get down to the caked on gunk that she wanted Yasha to spray. "Alright, now you're up...actually, hold on." She moved around to the other side of Yasha. Putting him between her and the garbage. "If you splash me with any of that I'll kill you, got it?"
