Akako Kijime sat outside of the student council president's office of Aibo Academy clutching her binder close. It was always a pleasant surprise when the president would offer his time to a student especially when it came to trading Buddyfight cards. "Akako, President Shido will now be able to speak with you, please follow me" his assistant said ushering her inside to his office.

The twelve year old sixth grader took a seat moving the stray strands of her crimson hair away from her face and fiddling with the dog tags around her neck. Her black eyes stayed focus on the back of the president's chair as he turned around getting a good look only to see a girl whose nerves was still getting the better of her.

"You may leave us for now Sofia," he said sending her off leaving just Akako and himself. Shido pulled out his binder from under his desk flipping through the contents. "Why so uptight we're just here to do some trading and maybe discuss a little about your transfer."

Akako was shocked to hear about this never before had she mentioned to anyone about her invitiation. "Uh...yes, I was apparently recognized by Sengoku Academy during one of my fights in the ABC cup. Even though I never made it to the finals a member of their student body said that my potential could be better realized at their school. A couple of days later I had received that invitation in writing I just haven't accepted it yet."

"And why is that...?"

"Mostly because I don't quite have the cards necessary to feel like I can compete with their students. The way they train and the types of decks I would have to go up against would indicate that I will not be able to last two days before crawling back to here. You see it's just me and my brother in an apartment. While his job as a Buddypolice officer is what's keeping a roof over our heads it doesn't exactly allow us much lead way in terms of luxuries. In order to help with the cost I don't get packs very often I maybe get like one pack at the end of every month or so..."

"Well, that is exactly why I called you in," he said flipping from page to page ", if you decide then as president the least I can do for you is support you in that decision on behalf of the entire student body." Shido closed his binder then went into another drawer to pull out another binder. "Hmm...you seem to use a world that doesn't seem to have as many cards as the other worlds do so trying to help you may be a bit tricky."

"Oh yes," Akako replied now showing a little bit of life in her eyes ", the trial deck and extra booster only came out about three months my deck is just a slightly streamlined version of the trial deck with some generic cards to help move through the deck a bit easier." Finally something had caught her eye as she very carefully took a look at the page Shido had stopped on. "Is that...it's the impact card I have been looking for," she exclaimed pulling it carefully out of the page ", and you even have a full set of four!"

"Well is that what you need then?"

"Yes it will help my deck out so much!"

Shido then smirked underneath. "Then go ahead and take them if it will help you complete your deck."

"Thank you so much," she said shaking his hand before placing them into her deck box carefully. "You saved me so much money of having to open more boosters than we can afford," those cards meant so much more to Akako since now she felt like she could now be able to compete in Sengoku with a now more capable deck than before.

"Don't mention it but now there is a favor I would like for you to do since you now seem that you want to go to Sengoku," Shido said pulling out what looked like to be a sealed core gadget. "I want to extend a goodwill to them. Since I have some friends over there they loaned me this deck to use. I of course have no need for this deck so I just want to return this to them but trying to get this to them is so hard since it is located up in the mountains. Can I ask you to at least do this for me?"

Akako picked up the core gadget and examined it. It did have a foreboding energy coming from it but if it was somebody else's deck then who was she not to accept such a simple task? "Sure I can do that but who is it going to," she asked still toying with it slightly.

"Oh just give it to the student body president they'll know who to give it to," he said now shutting his binders and putting them away.

"Okay well thank you again President Shido," she said happily and then left as Sofia came back inside once their meeting was over.

"You trust that girl to hand over a Disaster Force gadget considering her brother is a cop?"

Shido shook his in disapproval. "Sofia...Sofia, I don't look at the fact that her brother is a cop. What I look at is the opportunity to help someone in desperate need and that they merely do what I need to respect what I did for them."


Akako was overjoyed as she started to rush back home. She wanted nothing more than hurry back and fine tune her deck just a little more. After running, jumping, and sometimes tripping over other people finally she made back to her apartment complex bursting through the door only to see her brother sitting right there at the table with a small cake and a congratulation banner. "Well took ya long enough to get home," he said getting up to hug Akako. Kuro Kijime was about nine years older than Akako. A detective of the Buddy Police at only nineteen years old, Kuro spent a lot more time working behind his desk doing more paperwork than actual cases. However, though that doesn't mean he hasn't had experience out in the field. He was a good fighter winning a lot of his matches and locking some of the worst in illegal Buddy Fighters.

"What are you doing here nii-san? I thought you said that you were the graveyard shift this evening," she said taking a seat at the table to cut herself a small piece of the cake he brought home.

"Well...remember all those nights I came home really late from the office?," Akako nodded between large gulps of her cake. "I took those couple of late nights so that I had enough vacation time to help you get ready for your trip to Sengoku Academy. Plus, we have quite a bit of extra money to get this...," out from him bag came a medium sized box shrink-wrapped. It was then that Akako stopped eating looking at her brother with big eyes.

"You're not serious..."

"Let's find you your Buddy Monster. I have a really good feeling about this."

For the rest of the afternoon that's what Akako and Kuro did. As they unwrapped pack after pack hopes that were high up were now starting to sink like a stone. Sure there were some cards that could've helped Akako's deck but no Buddy Rare inside it was then that they were down to two packs. "Well at least there's stuff that I could use to improve the deck or at least prep my ten-card sideboard but still no buddy rare. Sorry nii-san looks like you've wasted your time and money on a box," she sighed leaning back ", I guess I may as well take another look at that invitation to see what I need for the trip up."

As Akako tossed her book bag onto the couch out came the core gadget that she was given by President Shido. Kuro picked up examining the bone sides and blue crystal in the middle of the case itself. "Hey sis, where'd you get this core gadget from? We don't have any Buddy Monsters to have a core gadget of our own," he asked still rotating it around examining it thoroughly.

"Oh that, I met with President Shido today and he gave me the impact cards needed to help improve my deck. In exchange he wanted me to run an errand and deliver this core gadget to the student body at Sengoku," she called pulling out a large mountain backpack a gift from her parents when they as a family used to go hiking deep into mountains. "I mean it's not too big of a deal and it fits within my stuff perfectly." It was then that Kuro didn't look to happy as he put the case back down on the table.

"Sis, I should probably take this down to the station," he replied handing it back to Akako. "About two weeks ago there was an attack on a Photon metal mine and a lot of the ore that was needed to properly build core gadgets was taken. For that reason Commander I has been asking any and all officers to bring in any suspicious cases that are found for inspection. I'm especially worried because the case is sealed like this that you may end transporting something that would put you in danger."

Akako still packed putting the case in with her stuff. "I'm sure it's nothing though nii-san it'll be fine it's probably just sealed like in order keep people from stealing the cards inside. How would you feel if your cards were messed around with inside," she replied though much to the dismay of her brother.

"Sis it's not even about privacy people seal up stuff like because they are usually hiding something. If they wanted to seal this up so badly then there has to be reason behind it. Please let me take this to the Buddy Police you're the only family I have left and I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

However, Akako paid no heed which frustrated Kuro. Sometimes she could be so stubborn, he thought but knew that once she had her mind on something that she was going to do it no matter what. "Alright, alright since you insist on delivering this just promise me that you'll be careful. I still really worry for you but it's clear that you are growing up and I should be able to respect that just like mom and dad would."

"Thanks a lot nii-san," she replied giving her brother one more hug before tightening up the straps on her backpack around her sleeping bag. "There that should be able to do it I have all my clothes, heavy jackets, the water bladder, and finally my pad and sleeping bag. Now all I have to do is check over my deck and finish out my ten card sideboard and I will be all set to go."

"Need someone to playtest your new adjusted deck with?" Akako nodded and they both sat together at the table though there were still two unopened packs from Kuro's gift. "Why don't you open up those packs while I get us some water to drink."


As Kuro left Akako opened up the first of two packs. Nothing, nothing, oh and look more nothing she thought putting those cards off to the side. Then there was the final pack of the box, though Akako didn't hold too much hope for this final pack. She opened the commons facing her first as she kept going through the pack until the last card shined with a bright yellow before leaving her hand and going into the room in family room. "NII-SAN," she shouted which nearly brought on heart attack from Kuro as he ran into the family room.

There the light expanded engulfing the roof for a moment until it had dissipated. Out came a pretty large white wolf with red stripes running along his body. He was adorned in black short-sleeved shirt with a number of badges above his left pocket and black pants with the same red stripe running down each side of his legs. He was equipped with two large metal gauntlets on each of his hands and arms both having large blades sheathed inside them. Finally, his hat was that of a naval officer's white on top with a black brim but the symbol was something of importance. "Ten-hut soliders," he called causing both Kuro and Akako to snap to attention as he paced looking at both of them. "Hmph...responsive, it's clear that both of you are no stranger to this or you could be ," the wolf then bent down to look at Akako. "Now answer me this were you the one to summon me to this world," Akako merely nodded ", DON'T JUST NOD NOW!"

"SIR! YES, I WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND YOU AS THE BUDDY RARE INSIDE MY PACK SIR," Akako shouted though her voice came off somewhat pitchy and screechy as she shouted at the top. It was then that he looked to Kuro. "And who might you be to this statue of a girl!"

"SIR! MY NAME IS KURO KIJIME, THE STATUE OF A GIRL AS YOU SO CALL HER IS MY SISTER AKAKO KIJIME," Kuro replied with the top of his lung as well but soon felt like he would need a change of pants if this were to continue. Again this wolf kept pacing back and forth inspecting both of them almost as if he was looking for something inside one of them.

He then stopped toward Akako, staring her down directly into her eyes. "Hmph...there's is something definitely inside you miss that I think I can work with here or my name isn't Commander Kiba Lycaon, Codename: Alpha Ace."


Next Time:

"Less than a hundred of you will make it to the dorms"

"Are you just going to let them take your spot?!"

"Dad's combat knife..."

A/N: Thanks for taking the time to read this guys. It takes a lot of work to come up with characters and a whole new set of cards for an OC. I wanted to try and avoid as much Mary-Suisms as possible as fanfiction based on card game anime makes it really easy to make an all powerful character. I'm still debating on whether or not to show off all the cards I made on my DeviantArt page or do a "card-of-the-chapter" type deal so keep an eye out soon enough. As always please take the time to read and review ^^!
